Guardian: Britain may be marginalized by Liz Truss’ policies

MOSCOW, September 12 – RIA Novosti. New prime minister Liz Truss could lead a ‘sinking’ UK to the fact that the country will be ‘in-between’ says In Simon Tisdall’s The Guardian article.

Therefore, after leaving the EU, the country is increasingly skipped and ridiculed by both allies and opponents, and by any standard – GDP, currency, debt, influence, military power – Britain is “sink”.
