Brexit was voted by the majority and still took a while to implement, you can't cheat the majority, the electorate sorted that out in the last election. All Brexit liabilities can be offset by setting the economy on the right footing, it's just that the Tories are fighting amongst themselves at the moment. We have to pay off our debts, taxes should not be reduced and higher rate tax should be 50%. The NHI surcharge should have remained as the NHS is struggling after COVID. Stamp duty should have remained the same but affordable housing should be tackled. The BJ government targeted mostly the benefit people for help for paying energy bills but everybody got £400 back, even those who could pay, Liz Truss is helping everyone even if they can pay, which is silly, help should start at the bottom and work its way up on a sliding scale, people over 50K a year should pay, industry etc. should also have the help as outlined by the government, for next year there are no plans to help the poorest in society apart from the energy cap available to all, if the energy crisis continues, this will cause real hardship. It is a Thatcherism government of the worst order, Labour and Lib. Dems next to get in, although they do not give me a load of confidence, loads of Tories will be out in a rout!
