The government still has no head of dragons
When Britain was in such a chaotic situation, the British government could not give response measures because the new Prime Minister had not chosen it.

Tellas told British media that economic recession cannot be avoided, and the economic environment of Google or Facebook should be created. Earlier, the British government has announced a 37 billion pound of pounds to alleviate the current pressure of the people. However, some critics believe that this strength is still not enough. Daniel Cowcinski, a Conservative member supporting the Tras campaign, told CNN that the current situation is severe. The Conservative Party should end the campaign in advance and appoint the new Prime Minister, or authorize Johnson to take action now.
