Tras adamant about economic measures – Making things worse by talking, says the opposition

London, Thanasis Gavos

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Liz Truss he insisted in televised remarks on the measures included in last Friday’s mini-budget, saying the circumstances required “decisive action”.

Sticking to the line she followed during seven morning interviews with as many regional BBC radio stations, Ms Truss said at midday: “We have to look at what this country would be in if we hadn’t acted. Citizens were facing energy bills of up to £6,000, we had very high inflation estimates and an economic slowdown. And what we did was take decisive action.”

He emphasized on freezing of energy bills for households and businesses, blaming Putin for the energy crisis and the “difficult winter” ahead.

Regarding the tax cuts to be covered by borrowing, a move that caused market turmoil and concern about the stability of Britain’s public finances, he said he wanted to give the economy a boost.

Asked to give examples of the announced money-saving measures in ministries and the public more generally, Ms Truss said she could not yet do so but that “there are always many areas where a government can become more efficient”.

Main opposition Labor said Ms Truss was “making a disastrous situation worse” with her interviews, referring to the new rise in government bond yields.

The party, like the rest of the opposition parties, renews the request for an extraordinary reconvening of the House of Commons, which is in recess until October 11.
