RT @borofergie: So let’s be clear, the Conservatives were warned EXACTLY what would happen if they chose Truss as their leader. This from Rishi Sunak;

We've heard from the Bank of England, but where on earth is the Prime Minister?

RT @thatginamiller: If Truss and Kwarteng did meet hedge-fund backers a few days before their budget, who then shorted the £ due to the meeting, it is 100% insider dealing. @theFCA must investigate as clearly in the public interest

RT @RichardGCorbett: An international banker friend tells me:
“The hedge funds made a ton of money because they met up with #KwasiKwarteng 3 days before the announcement and they shorted Sterling big time - isn’t that insider trading in a mega way? I am appalled”

RT @EdnaMurphy12: Only wealthy benefit from minibudget, all others lose. Currency trashed. Interest rates will push up mortgages. Inflation already causing misery with cost of living with more to come. A budget for the 'have & have yachts'?
Tory govt incompetent, ideological, vile.

I fear they will be as dismissive as they apparently are of all economic ‘orthodoxy’.

RT @Steffanaquarone: The Chancellor’s out of touch and shambolic budget has been exposed as a reckless gamble. The Conservatives are giving huge unfunded tax cuts to their wealthy banker mates, while neglecting local health services and hammering hard-working people with years of tax hikes. (1/2)

It's only if you're earning more than £155,000 that you're going to see your taxes cut.
That's wrong and it shows this government is totally out of touch.

Pretty damning from the pubic as well as the markets. Unfair AND ineffective. 🤦♀️
