Mancheste: Prime Minister Boris Johnson will promise on Sunday to take “big and courageous decisions” to change the Post-Covid Britain, hoping to establish a conservative party conference that regulates fuel, gas and the Christmas food crisis.
Johnson wants to use this week’s conference to play a page of more than 18 months Covid-19 and to refocus on the promise of 2019 elections to overcome regional inequality, crime and social care.
Instead, the prime minister found himself at the back of more than nine months since England completed his release from the European Union – the departure he said would hand over the country better to form his economy.
He is now faced with protests by those who cannot fill their cars with gasoline, by retailers who are afraid there may be a lack of Christmas rates and by gas companies that struggle with a surge in wholesale prices.
In a statement released on the night of the conference in the city of Manchester, Johnson did not refer to the ongoing crisis and vice versa talking about what he called “trace record of shipping on his people’s priorities”.
“We don’t go through Covid to return to how the previous situation – to the status quo ante.
Wake up better it means we want things to change and improve when we recover,” he said.
“That means making big and brave decisions on the priorities he thinks – like in social care, in supporting work, about climate change, handling crime and level up.” He repeated his spell that the government did all that to support the business during a pandemic, to protect the work and have succeeded in launching a mass vaccination program.
But for many critics, this frequently repeated statement underscores the rejection to recognize the steps in the early days of the pandemic when the government seems reluctant to lock the economy to stop the spread of the virus.
At the conference, the top-up withdrawal for the state’s gains for low-income households and the end of the Covid work support scheme may also attract criticism from several lawmakers, especially those from areas in North and Central England who are traditionally supported by the Opposition Working Party.
