A | London, Oct 15 (UNI) British Prime Minister Liz Truss is facing a backlash from Conservative MPs after firing her Chancellor and announcing a second U-turn on a major economic policy.

One former Minister told the BBC: "We cannot go on like this indefinitely."

Another Tory MP said the party was in a "state of despair" after the PM's Downing Street news conference.

Truss supporter Christopher Chope said "time will tell" if she had done enough to secure her position, calling those plotting to remove her "hyenas".

Sir Christopher said: "We can't possibly force another Prime Minister out of office, we've just got to calm down and try to give the Prime Minister our support."

In an attempt to end turmoil on the financial markets, Truss sacked her Chancellor and close ally Kwasi Kwarteng, replacing him with former Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt. She then reversed a key policy to scrap a planned rise in corporation tax from 19 to 25 per cent.

It is the second major U-turn on September's mini-budget after Truss cancelled her plan to scrap the top rate of income tax earlier this month.

At a brief news conference in Downing Street on Friday, the Prime Minister dismissed calls for her resignation, saying she was determined to see her promises through.

Commenting on the corporation tax U-turn, Sir Christopher added it was "going to be damaging to the prospects for growth" and was "totally inconsistent" with what Truss said during her leadership campaign.

Conservative MP for Coalville, Andrew Bridgen, said he thought there would "be a challenge to Truss in the next few weeks".

Bridgen, who backed Rishi Sunak to be leader, said: "Dissatisfaction is so high in the parliamentary party.

"Removing Kwasi Kwarteng when he implemented the policies she asked him to do won't engender loyalty to her."

Former Conservative leader William Hague meanwhile said her premiership was "hanging by a thread".

Government borrowing costs rose and the pound's value fell after the Prime Minister's latest U-turn.

Some economists warned that the latest developments might not be enough to restore the UK's credibility.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon called for a general election, saying Truss is "unfit to hold the office of Prime Minister".

Privately many Conservative MPs admit they have gone through despondency and into despair over the past 24 hours.

Another MP called Ms Truss's news conference "a mega-disaster". They said: "She will have to resign."

吭哧吭哧跑步，或许不如在手机上点份「假外卖」掉秤快。很多年轻人都有过这样的体验：饥肠辘辘的深夜，躺在床上划拉外卖软件，纠结是点烧烤、炸鸡还是小龙虾。而外卖一到，大快朵颐之后，又陷入后悔：「我到底为什么要吃这么多？」「为什么又花冤枉钱点外卖？！」如果有一种办法，既能过足挑外卖的瘾，又能不花一分钱、不摄入任何卡路里，那该有多爽？一个名为「外卖不会来」的App，就靠着「假外卖」业务，号称满足了全球用户近一百万次「进食欲望」。不管饿不饿，点开「外卖不会来」界面，都会忍不住流口水。实时热门菜单上，牛肉麻辣烫、锅包肉、黄油盐面包……全是此时此刻全球网友共同「点」出来的爆款。在这里，你不仅能像平时一样挑选菜品，花钱多加一份肉，备注「微辣不要葱」；还能使用膨胀后的优惠券，实时监督后厨有没有现炒出餐。唯一的区别在于——你永远也不会收到这份外卖。且界面上变化的，只有「累计节省金额」及「累计减少热量」。

B | 图源：外卖不会来以一份经典的芝士汉堡加薯条套餐为例，算上配送费，「假外卖」不仅能省下45元，更能减少约1270卡路里的摄入。而同样的热量放在跑步机上算，至少得慢跑40分钟才能消耗掉。只靠「假外卖」就能减肥吗？科学家们给出的答案是：真的可以。

C | 在心理学中，这种操作被称为「预期性奖励」。研究表明，掌管快乐与欲望的多巴胺，主要在「想要」和「期待」的过程中大量分泌，而不是真正「得到」之后。换句话说，比起真正吃进嘴里的快乐，挑菜品、凑满减、点击下单的过程，就已经足够让大脑产生对食物的满足感，从而大幅降低现实中的进食欲望。图源：外卖不会来正如「外卖不会来」在网页版界面中写道：「一份真正的凌晨一两点的外卖订单，总会伴随着一丝遗憾，而虚假的订单则毫无遗憾可言。当你摆脱了享受后的内疚感，剩下的东西，竟意外地接近纯粹的乐趣。」看中了这种「赛博心理代偿」的，远不止假外卖这一个赛道。

D | 在替尔泊肽等药物广泛应用于体重管理的今天，一些商家已经开始把这套多巴胺玩法用在了健康管理上。类似「好大夫在线」的韩国线上诊疗平台Doctor Now就推出了一款名为「心灵胶囊（Mindjaro）」的虚拟减肥针应用，谐音来自替尔泊肽（Mounjaro）。

E | 用户只需要拿起手机对准自己的肚子，屏幕上就会播放一段药物注射动画，注射完成后还会贴心地弹出提示：「你的食欲已经消失了。」图源： Doctor Now虽然听上去这个功能有些啼笑皆非，但对于想要尝试注射类体重管理，但又碍于身体顾虑或经济困境的人来说，「假减肥针」确实提供了有效的心理慰藉价值与尝试窗口。值得一提的是，不管是不用花钱的外卖，还是不用挨一针的减肥，这些软件的下载与使用基本都是免费的。流量之下，对于开发团队而言，它们的商业价值，还在于深度洞察大众的健康焦虑，为后续的变现通道开路。

F | 比如，「外卖不会来」就可以根据用户在不同菜品上的停留时长，衍生出消费数据分析与广告投放；Doctor Now则可以依托「假减肥针」，降低新用户尝试的心理门槛，让更多人愿意了解并接触平台上真实的医疗资源。而这些琐碎的日常细节之所以能被做成产品，归根结底还是离不开大众对于健康生活的复杂情绪。一边是对健康、好身材的追求，另一边是对食物的欲望、对现实生活的疲惫。甚至，使用这些产品的人比谁都清楚，自己的行为不过是在「欺骗大脑」。
