The ruling Conservative party is holding its annual conference this week in Birmingham.
The prime minister, elected about 4 weeks ago, is having a very hard time along with her chancellor of the exchequer, who is in charge of the money.
She has gone for a policy to stimulate the economy, and reduce energy bills and inflation. However, she is borrowing money to pay for this and markets don't like this. She is taking a gamble. In the past, these gambles have not worked.
She also looks to be turning her back on those in our society who are the most vulnerable.
At this rate she could be ousted as party leader quite soon, along with her chancellor. Unless things rapidly change, I suspect the Conservative party will lose the next general election due in 2024.
