What did British Prime Minister Liz Truss do?

On the evening of the 6th local time, Tras delivered his first speech as British Prime Minister before 10 Tangning Street. She said that the United Kingdom would "overwhelm the difficulties" in the most serious living cost crisis of this generation and promised that she would "do it for his own" and urgently dealt with the energy crisis. It is expected that the upper limit of the bill will be taken in a few days.

At the same time, Tellas was built on her cabinet team, and appointed 22 cabinet members in just a few hours.

Judging from the cabinet list, Trasse seems to value "loyalty". All those who were selected as the cabinet position, in the trusted voting of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, either issued a public statement that supported him or at least not publicly announced their vote.

For the new Prime Minister, most of the British people interviewed by the First Financial Journalist expressed their hope that she could take the lead in solving difficult problems that affect the lives of the people, such as energy bills, national medical care systems (NHS), and strikes caused by inflation. And other issues.

Wang Zhanpeng, deputy dean of the School of English and Director of the British Research Center of Beijing University of Foreign Languages, told First Financial reporters that British economic issues are the urgent princes of Tellas after taking office. However, he believes that after the epidemic, the British government's finances have been "lost blood". "Although the tax reduction proposed by Tras can stimulate the economy, this will make the British government more stretched. Especially for the middle of the crisis of life costs, the most impact on the crisis of life costs is the most impactful. For the income people, the government provides them with a smaller space for them. "

loyalty

A statement of No. 10 Tangning Street stated: "The Prime Minister has appointed a cabinet representing the depth and breadth of the conservative party ... This cabinet includes at least five candidates from the recent leadership elections. The party makes our economic growth and provide services to the British people. "

There are many "self" in this cabinet list. For example, Trams' close ally Kwasi Kwarteng and TheRese Coffey were appointed as Finance Ministers and Minister of Health.

The outside world thinks that Tras seems to be like her predecessor Johnson, and appointed a cabinet based on loyalty. People who once "backbone" Johnson were rejected. The ministers of Rishi Sunak also did not stay.

However, Tras also appointed her other elections in the election to enter the cabinet. Former British Attorney General, Suella Braverman, became the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Defense Ben Wallace, and the Minister of Trade Policy Penny Mordaunt became the leader of the lower house.

The current primary task of Tras is to win the support of Conservative MPs before the British government junior minister replacement this Wednesday, and passed her energy plan in the house. Therefore, for Tras, which has only attracted 50 members in the first round of election voting, it is necessary to attract as much as possible as much as possible.

Three major priority tasks

In his speech outside the 10th Tangning Street, Tellas said that she had three major priority tasks to be resolved urgently. First of all, she will take action this week to deal with energy issues and ensure the future energy supply of Britain.

Simon Usherwood, a professor of political science in the UK, told the First Financial Journalist that for the new Prime Minister, the cost of living and energy will undoubtedly be its key task. Regardless of the degree of difficulties or the lack of sufficient intervention by the British government so far, this means that Tras must work hard to show that she pays close attention to the concerns of many voters.

"From the beginning of the campaign, Tras is gradually realizing that taking action in the cost of living costs and energy costs is of great significance. The key is that these measures need to have a direct impact, especially if most of the work rely on taxation and//// Or if the structural reform is completed, "Ashwood said.

At present, the British energy regulatory agencies of OFGEM are reviewed in April and October each year, respectively. From April this year, the upper limit of an ordinary British family's energy bill is designated as £ 1971 (about 15,769 yuan) per year, and will rise to £ 3549 (about 28,393 yuan) by October. This policy sets the upper limit of the unit rates charged by energy suppliers to the unit rate of natural gas and electricity. For example, in terms of power, this means that from October, civilian electricity bills per kilowatt -hour will be 2.26 yuan) rose to 51.8 pence (about 4.14 yuan). The Tras plan is to set the upper limit of the energy bill at £ 2,500 (about 20,000 yuan). However, the actual payment amount of the family is based on the amount. The more it is used, the more the payment is. In the fall of this year, Tras also plans to issue 400 pounds of pounds (about 3200 yuan) to British families. A number of British people who were interviewed by the First Financial Reporter said that reducing the life and production costs of individuals and enterprises is the main concern of everyone, especially gasoline and fuel. High inflation is troubled by everyone's lives, and the strike tide caused by the situation made the situation worsen. "When I take my elderly parents to shop, sometimes they can't get what they need. Because it is obvious that there are many things on the shelves. For everyone, this is a very difficult period." One The British people complained.

Secondly, Tellas said that she had a "bold plan" to develop the economy through tax cuts and reforms, "promoting business -led growth and investment."

Improve health services is the third largest task listed by Tras. In the interview, some British people said: "I think NHS needs some improvement. The personal experience of my family is that even if you have a long time, they (medical staff) still don't know how to arrange you."

However, the sustainability of the Tras Pap plan was also questioned. Although it is unclear how long the aforementioned energy plan will last, the overall support plan of the British government is expected to reach about 100 billion pounds. At the same time, the British government is unwilling to share the expenses into the bills of the people in the next decades, which means that the cost will be borne by the government's finance. The "non -levy tax" is the repeated view of Tras during the campaign of the Conservative Party leader. If the tax reduction is further reduced, the source of funds will become a major challenge.

Paul Johnson, director of the British Institute of Finance, said that the final expenditure may exceed expectations, and energy prices have a high risk of long -term high levels within three or four years.

In addition, Zu Teng had previously proposed that the scale of the current economic issues requires some "financial easing" measures, but the Conservatives said that the plan was "not determined."
