As soon as the news came out, the pound responded to 0.6%, and the exchange rate against the US dollar was reported at 1.198.

Since the first minister has issued a letter of resignation to the two days, more than 50 officials have resigned from the British government. Johnson, who originally claimed that he could not resign, finally yielded, and agreed to step down after talking with the chairman of the 1922 Committee of the 1922 Committee of the Conservative Party.

According to data from the British Government Institute, Johnson, who has been in office for less than three years, has surpassed his former Prime Minister Trysa May and became the largest number of ministers who resigned during his tenure in 1979. In contrast, only 24 ministers who have been in power for more than 11 years have resigned.

The "resignation wave" Domino's card fell down

Earlier, on Tuesday (6th), local time, Johnson's left -handed and right -handed financial minister Rishi Sunak and Minister of Health Sajid Javid resigned from the cabinet in a few minutes. Although Johnson quickly promoted his hand to make up for vacancies, in the evening of Wednesday (July 6), Johnson was questioned and urged to resign by the remaining members of the cabinet, including Nadhim Zahawi, who had just referred to as Ren Chengxin's Minister of Finance. Under the betrayal, Johnson announced the firing of Michael Gove, the Minister of the Minister of Housing, the Community and the local department of the local department, trying to calm the situation.

However, the Domino's cards did not stop. The Minister of Affairs of the British Affairs immediately submitted his resignation and became the third member of the cabinet who took the initiative to leave after the former Minister of Health and the former Financial Minister. On the 7th, the Northern Ireland Minister also issued a resignation letter. Since the past two days, the number of British officials who left government positions have risen by more than 50.

In recent months, Johnson's leadership has quickly disintegrated due to improper handling of incidents within the party. In June, Johnson was pushed on a unbelievable vote. Although 40%of the Conservative MPs voted for no trust votes, he eventually retained his position of his prime minister. According to the current rules, only one trust vote is allowed to be initiated for the Prime Minister within 12 months. However, the Conservative Council warning Johnson said that if he did not take the initiative to resign, after the election of the 1922 committee next Monday, the new team will promote the change of the rules of the party and allow the next trust to vote immediately.

Chris Heaton-Harris, the Chief Party of Conservative Party, told Johnson that he would lose trust voting. Shaspsus, who had provided parliamentary votes for Johnson, also warned that Johnson's opportunity for voting was "small" and he should resign. A member of the committee revealed that members of the members wanted to start the competition of leadership as soon as possible so that a new leader replaced Johnson before autumn. According to British media reports, the conservative party leadership election will be held this summer, and the new Prime Minister will be in time at the party congress in October.

Wang Zhanpeng told the First Financial reporter: "According to our tracking of Brexit in recent years, the British political parties have the heaviest to the election gains and losses. Falling and difficult to reverse the economic situation in the short term, the wave of resignation of the ministers also wants to accelerate Johnson's step down. "

The cost of living in Britain is serious

According to the British Statistics Office of the United Kingdom, the growth rate of the consumer price index in May reached 9.1%, a new high in 40 years. As the Bank of England increases interest rates and the confidence of families and some companies has declined, British GDP has shrunk in April, and it is expected that negative growth will occur in the second quarter.

Investment Consulting BCA Research Global Fixed Revenue Chief Strategyer Robert Robis said that the cost of living costs is against British consumers. The CPI is nearly four percentage points higher than the level at the end of 2021. Consumer confidence is in June. Falling to a new historical low. As the pace of wage growth fails to keep up with rising prices, consumers' purchasing power is weakening.

"These dynamic changes make the task of the Bank of England complicated. Although it increases interest rates last month and expects the inflation rate will continue to rise, reaching a peak of 10%at the end of 2022, it issues a pigeon message because It predicts that it will be close to decline in the next few years, "Robes said.
