Boris Johnson says he will leave the solution to the energy crisis to his successor

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who will leave office in September, defended on Tuesday that he would leave the dossiers on responding to the energy crisis and raising the cost of living in the UK to his successor.

“whatever [o sucessor]I’m sure he will want to make more announcements in September and October about what we are going to do in the coming period, in December and January,” Boris Johnson explained, according to the BBC.

“I just want you to know that I am pretty sure we will have the financial strength and the free space to take care of people as we always have,” the still standing premier added during an event in Downing Street.

Liz Truss, the current foreign secretary and a candidate to succeed Boris Johnson, has promised tax cuts, while former finance minister Rishi Sunak has opted to support the most vulnerable families.

However, from the Labor office, Boris Johnson has been accused of leaving a “political vacuum” by not making decisions, and has asked Downing Street to take charge and make proposals before the prime minister ends his term.

Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy criticized the Executive for inaction in the face of rising energy prices.

“We have this political vacuum where people are anxious and sad and struggling to deal with this crisis,” he said.

“There is a lot to do, but at the moment what we have is disagreements in the Conservative Party, a race between candidates, an absent prime minister out of place … the answer is now,” he concluded.
