The new Prime Minister Liz Truss, who threw Britain into chaos in a matter of weeks, is now called the «dead woman walking».
The idiom "dead man walking" is becoming increasingly common in British society. It is all about the fact that a number of politicians, having shown themselves to be not at their best, could no longer count on anything and made it to the end of their careers without prospects. RIA Novosti columnist Alexander Khabarov writes about this.
"Once this term was called Theresa May, who was undecided about Brexit. Then they called it Boris Johnson, who "walked around" during the lockdown during the COVID pandemic," the publication says.
Now the new Prime Minister Liz Truss, who threw Britain into chaos in a matter of weeks, is called the "dead woman walking".
Within a short time of Truss' tenure, the British currency collapsed and financial markets were in panic.
Fifty-five percent of British residents expressed distrust of Liz Truss' policies.
"Truss could become a real 'dead woman walking' and lose her office," Khabarov concluded.
