Truss, who was criticized for his economic policies, had requested Tories trust him, in an attempt to restore his authority over the rebels. He has pledged to guide Britain through “stormy days” and turn a stagnant economy around. In a a context marked by internal strife and political confusionThe prime minister has tried to convince his party, residents and investors that his plan is the right way to revive growth.
It premiere he has defended the idea of lowering taxes to tackle the economic crisis and insisted that his economic priorities be summed up in one word: “growth”. He insisted that “lower taxes both morally and economically” although he has admitted that “when there is change, there is a problem” given that “not everyone thinks the same”.
As such, he has highlighted that “he believes in fiscal responsibility” and has expressed the need to “give value to taxpayers”. He has advocated “reducing debt” and promoting economic reforms. “I love business. I like people who take responsibility, who do. I want to see more of that,” he added.
Moreover, he remembered that the country was experiencing “important” moments, “storm” days where “you cry” the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, the foundation on which modern England is built.” “In these difficult times, we must rise above,” he insisted before declaring that population “knows how to spend their money”. “This is what conservatism means.; is belief in freedom, justice and the potential of the British people.”
In this case, Truss had shown that when he arrived at Downing Street he felt that “remaining silent is not an option”. “Families may not be able to heat their homes. Businesses and jobs can be lost,” he continued.
On the issue of Brexit, he has promised to keep his word and has clarified that by the end of the year the matter “will be history”. “Brexit will allow the UK to do things differently,” have explained.
Truss in turn highlighted that the country “increase its energy security by becoming more independent from authoritarian regimes”a clear reference to Russia in a full-blown invasion of Ukraine, and has pointed out that, on the issue of migration, the new Interior Minister, Suella Braverman, is “brilliant”.

The situation has made conservatives consider the possibility of replacing him in the office if the poll results do not improve. On Tuesday, former Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said he had about 10 days to “reach a 180-degree turn.”
