    2. Bag can be used as "verb" and the meaning is to get some prize or something. Although this expression is kind of slang(informal), it can be used in medias for more audience.

    3. Storm Cloud gathering means that something bad is going to happen. The new PM needs to handle many difficulty such as economic recession and energy crisis.
