British Prime Minister Liz Truss, surrounded on the economy front, resigned on Thursday. In fact, during his election campaign for the post of Prime Minister, the promises made by Truss to bring the economy back on track, became his neck. His government completely failed to tackle inflation. Finance Minister Kwaji Quarteng, who tried to implement the truce promises, had to resign. With the economy derailed by Quarteng's decisions and criticism within the party, new Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt overturned almost all of Quarteng's decisions.
Even after this, the pressure on the truss government did not ease. Even his own party MPs turned against him. After this Truss had to resign from his post. Truss was the Prime Minister for about 45 days. With this, she has become the shortest-serving prime minister in the history of Britain. Prior to this, George Conning held this position for only 119 days until his death in 1827.
Troubles increased from day one
Finance Minister Kwazi Quarteng announced a 'mini budget' on the first day of the truce government, which called for a tax cut of 45 billion. This decision had a very adverse effect on the market and created volatility in the market. Inflation started becoming uncontrollable and the local currency started weakening further. The situation became such that Britain's central bank, the Bank of England, was forced to intervene in the debt market. Despite this, Liz Truss said that it was the right move considering the time. After this, there was criticism all around the Truss government. Protests started in his own party. After this, Quarteng was sacked and Jeremy Hunt was made the country's finance minister. Let us inform that Rishi Sunak had already warned about the tax reduction policies of the truss. He said that the economy would be destroyed.
