La cheffe de la diplomatie Liz Truss s’est lancée dimanche soir dans la course à la succession du Premier ministre britannique Boris Johnson, dans une campagne marquée par le débat sur la politique fiscale et qui s’annonce particulièrement âpre.
“Je me battrai dans cette élection en tant que conservatrice et gouvernerai en tant que conservatrice”, a déclaré Liz Truss, 46 ans, annonçant une candidature qui ne faisait aucun doute dans les colonnes du Daily Telegraph.
Elle rejoint ainsi plusieurs poids lourds du parti conservateur dans une course qui compte au total 11 concurrents.
La secrétaire d’Etat au Commerce international Penny Mordaunt, 49 ans, s’est quant à elle lancée dimanche matin. Cette ancienne réserviste de la Marine, qui a été la première femme à occuper le poste de ministre de la Défense en 2019, a insisté sur la nécessité que le débat public “tourne un peu moins autour du leader”, pour se concentrer sur le “navire”.
Une volonté affichée de s’extraire de l’interminable succession de scandales qui ont émaillé le mandat de Boris Johnson, jusqu’à ne lui laisser d’autre choix que de démissionner jeudi, après une avalanche de départs dans son gouvernement.
Très ouverte, la compétition pour la tête du parti conservateur – et donc pour Downing Street, les Tories étant majoritaires à la Chambre des Communes – laisse augurer un été électrique, avec son lot de révélations et de boules puantes.
Samedi soir, les anciens ministres Jeremy Hunt et Sajid Javid ont à leur tour annoncé leurs candidatures dans les colonnes du journal conservateur Sunday Telegraph.
Sajid Javid a insisté sur son projet de diminution des impôts, se démarquant de la ligne de Rishi Sunak, qui figure parmi les favoris et veut attendre un assainissement des finances publiques avant d’envisager de s’engager sur une telle voie, dans un Royaume-Uni en proie à une inflation inédite depuis 40 ans.
“Sans baisses d’impôts nous n’aurons pas de croissance”, a déclaré sur la BBC dimanche Sajid Javid, qui en annonçant sa démission mardi du gouvernement a lancé l’hémorragie – une soixantaine de départs en tout – qui s’est avérée fatale à Boris Johnson.
Sajid Javid, 52 ans, avait été suivi neuf minutes plus tard par le ministre des Finances Rishi Sunak, mais il a assuré qu’ils ne s’étaient pas concertés.
Très populaire pour les multiples mesures de soutien déployées au plus fort de la pandémie, Rishi Sunak, 42 ans, s’est un temps trouvé affaibli par la révélation du recours de sa richissime épouse à un avantageux dispositif fiscal. Premier poids lourd à s’être lancé, il risque de subir les foudres du camp Johnson qui l’accuse de trahison.
– Finalistes connus d’ici au 20 juillet –
Autre candidat sérieux, Nadhim Zahawi : en tant que secrétaire d’Etat, il avait piloté le programme de vaccination antiCovid britannique, avant de passer la semaine dernière du ministère de l’Education à celui des Finances.
Il voit son début de campagne plombé par la révélation dans la presse d’une enquête fiscale. “On est clairement en train de me salir”, a-t-il riposté sur Sky News, assurant qu’il n’était pas au courant de cette enquête et avait “toujours” payé et déclaré ses impôts au Royaume-Uni.
Les autres concurrents, dont les chances de succès apparaissent bien moindres, sont le ministre des Transports Grant Shapps, le président de la commission des Affaires étrangères Tom Tugendhat, ainsi que l’attorney general – chargée de conseiller juridiquement le gouvernement – Suella Braverman, et l’ex-secrétaire d’Etat à l’Egalité Kemi Badenoch. Dernier arrivé dans la course, le député Rehman Chishti, quasi-inconnu du grand public.
Au total, les instances du parti anticipent une quinzaine de candidatures, un afflux qui laisse présager un relèvement des seuils en terme de parrainages ou de nombre de votes dans la première partie du processus.
Mais Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, trésorier du Comité 1922, chargé de l’organisation interne du parti, s’est dit “confiant” dimanche sur la radio LBC que les deux finalistes soient connus d’ici le 20 juillet.
Le calendrier plus précis est attendu lundi, pour une possible clôture des candidatures dès mardi, selon le Sunday Telegraph.
L’objectif évoqué est de faire en sorte que le vote final, ouvert uniquement aux adhérents du parti conservateur, permette de désigner le vainqueur d’ici au début du mois de septembre.

The 69-year-old man who has been charged with slashing his bedridden wife’s throat at their home on Toronto Terrace in Lionel Town Housing Scheme, Clarendon on Monday, was remanded in police custody on Friday.
This was after Thadius Gregory made his first appearance in the Clarendon Parish Court on a charge of murder relative to the death of his 67-year-old wife, Pamelia.
Several documents, including the post-mortem report, remain outstanding in the matter.
Reports are that about 7am on Monday, July 4, the elderly woman was at home with her husband and two grandsons.
Thadius Gregory allegedly attacked the grandson with a knife when the grandson tried to aid his grandmother, and a tussle ensued. The grandson managed to free himself and alerted neighbours, who called the police.
The police responded and Gregory was taken into custody, where he later confessed to killing his wife.
He was subsequently charged.

A Brazilian National and a Colombian National were on Sunday taken into custody after landing a light single-engine aircraft at Mahdia, Region Eight (Potaro-Siparuni).
INews understands that the aircraft landed at about 15:00h without the necessary permission and clearance from the Guyana Civil Aviation (GCAA).
A source told this publication that the aircraft is a CESNA 172 with a fake registration number (N5470Z).
Based on the registration number, the plane is privately by an individual out of Missouri, USA. The weight of the vessel is less than 12,500 pounds.
But according to the source, a large quantity of suspected cocaine was found on the aircraft. It was further indicated that the co-pilot is allegedly a serving Brazilian Law Enforcement officer.
The aircraft along with the suspected narcotics is being escorted to Georgetown by local investigators.

For decades tourism has been the leading economic sector in Saint Lucia. New legislation is in early development but is purposed with the removal of perceived shortcomings in the industry.
Minister for Tourism, Investment, Creative Industries, Culture and Information, Hon. Dr. Ernest Hilaire desires more transparency and accessibility afforded to future investors.
“There is much uncertainty in the investment climate so we are hoping this will make it very clear who gets what, where and how. The investment framework is very clear for the development industry. Beyond the accommodation sector, the Act will try to cover all sectors, so a person within tourism transportation, for example, knows exactly what is required. Likewise, anyone entering will know precisely what is required. The will reduce uncertainty and increase fairness. The more transparency we will introduce the better it is for everybody.”

The legislative framework also hopes to ignite an entrepreneurial spirit within citizens, by offering various incentives.
“We need a tourism industry that more nationals can participate in, and own. It does not make sense that the primary economic engine in Saint Lucia is not controlled by Saint Lucians. We have to ensure that our people have some level of control over what sustains our livelihoods. There is space for others, but Saint Lucian nationals should have a place as well, and the Act will seek to create that space for nationals. We want the tourism industry to be to the benefit of all.”
Stakeholder meetings will continue during the development stage of the legislation before it is presented to parliament.

Kidney patient Sarita Gangapersad at her Cumuto home – Angelo Marcelle
Nightly dialysis treatments leave Sarita Gangapersad coughing and lethargic in the morning. A combination of kidney failure and lupus have left the 36-year-old dependent on the support of family. She is appealing to members of the public who are willing to donate a kidney to reach out to be tested.
Lupus is a disease that occurs when your body’s immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Speaking to Newsday by phone, Gangapersad said she has had lupus since she was 15, but went into remission while still a teenager and was able to move on.
“I got married, graduated school, got a job, tried to get pregnant and then realised the lupus was affecting my health once again. And then the marriage didn’t work out because of my illness and the added stress of my job meant I had a lot of added stress in my life, and the lupus came back in full force.”
The Cumuto resident was diagnosed with renal failure at 30 and was put on daily dialysis while she looked for a compatible person for a kidney transplant.
“The dialysis, which I do every night, pulls all excess fluid out of the body, so in the morning I wake up dry and coughing. I do peritoneal dialysis, where the doctors placed a catheter in the stomach area and they give you a dialysis fluid that goes into tummy, cleanses the body from there and then pulls out the fluid afterwards.
Kidney patient Sarita Gangapersad stands next to her dialysis machine at her Cumuto home. – Angelo Marcelle
“It’s a gentler form of dialysis, from my experience, as opposed to haemodialysis, where they insert the catheter into your neck or arm and it pulls the blood out, cleanses it and puts it back in.
“I plug into the machine at night and it runs automatically while I’m sleeping, and when I wake up in the morning it’s done and I just unplug it and that’s it. I can go ahead and do what I want to do during the course of the day without being hooked up to a machine. My family helps me with maintenance and switching of the bags, etc.”
Usually, close family members are the best donors to provide a match, and one of her siblings was compatible.
“After about five years of testing at Mt Hope, which was slowed down by covid19, we found out my brother and I were compatible.
“We went into surgery in April this year, and in the operating theatre they realised he was having an allergic reaction to one of the anaesthetics. They had to make an immediate decision to save his life and had to stop the procedure. If they had gone on, it would have been fatal for him, so they stopped everything.
“It was devastating to reach to that point and then hear we couldn’t do the transplant any more.”
Gangapersad said her brother was no longer able to donate his kidney to her.
“It puts me in a predicament where I no longer had my donation, and I need to get the kidney. It’s five years I’ve been on dialysis, and that treatment can only go so far.
“I had an infection shortly after trying to do the transplant. I don’t know if it was the stress, but I had a cyst rupture on my kidney and had to be hospitalised yet again, and I’m still recovering from that.”
Gangapersad is on leave from her job as a mortgage officer, as after the first two years on dialysis she could not function.
“It took a little back and forth for me to intentionally be able to adjust to life, and it took a while for the doctors to determine what was the right dialysis prescription for me.
“In the two years it took for us to go back and forth, I developed gout and arthritis, and the pain was so bad, there were two weeks when I had a flare and during those times I couldn’t walk, I could barely get out of bed to do anything for myself. And so I had to leave work, as I couldn’t perform at my job.
“I’ve been out of work for three years and NIS can only go so far.”
She said her mother and siblings have been supporting her financially, but this has put a strain on them, as not all the services she needs are readily available in the public health system.
“Certain times we have to purchase medication. And in terms of testing, if something is wrong with me, it can take months to do an ultrasound, a CT scan, in the public system – and in my condition, I can’t wait months to get tested, because weeks from now I could be dead.
“So it would fall to the family now to get this money so I can get tested privately to get the medical attention I need to preserve my life.
“I am grateful to the system. They provide free medication in terms of the dialysis. It would have been impossible to pay for this on my own.”
Gangapersad said people interested in being tested would need to have B or O blood types. Anyone with existing medical conditions would be evaluated by the doctors, but she believes they would look for someone who is relatively healthy in order to accept an organ donation.
“I need to reach out to the public to see if anyone is willing to get tested/give a kidney as the case might be. Saving a life is what it comes down to.”
People interested in donating a kidney to Gangapersad can contact her at 498-8684.
