Furman said Truss might also have no choice but to undo some of her plans if Britain's debt problems start to spiral because of higher interest rates.

Guvernul Olandei a demisionat ca urmare a scandalului legat de miile de părinți acuzați pe nedrept de fraudă de către autoritățile fiscale. Rutte a spus, anterior, că se opune dizolvării coaliției, motivând că țara are nevoie de stabilitate și de guvern pe perioada pandemiei de coronavirus. Un raport parlamentar, intitulat „Nedreptate fără precedent”, a fost publicat luna trecută, după o anchetă legată de scandalul alocațiilor pentru copii care a inclus interogarea publică a numeroși oficiali, inclusiv a premierului Rutte. Guvernul și-a cerut scuze pentru metodele autorităților fiscale și a constituit anul trecut provizioane de peste 500 de milioane de euro pentru compensații, în jur de 30.000 de euro pentru fiecare familie. Autoritățile fiscale au recunoscut și că 11.000 de familii formate din persoane cu dublă naționalitate au fost evidențiate pentru a fi verificate mai amănunțit.
