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;

RT @EdwardJDavey: Liz Truss must recall Parliament and set out what she'll do to fix this economic mess and stop people losing their homes.

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

RT @SSMoir: A great morning visiting the @CambsCC team at @WaterGrafham. Good overview of the centre, activities, opportunities & challenges from Teresa Thorp & her team. Highlight of the visit was meeting primary school children enjoying their stay & the activities!

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 3 days before the announcement and they shorted Sterling big time - isn’t that insider trading in a mega way? I am appalled”

RT @LibDems: Yet again, struggling people across the country are being let down by new tax hikes from the Conservatives while banks and big business get tax cuts.

RT @Peston: This from IMF is humiliating for Kwarteng and Truss: “Given elevated inflation pressures in many countries, including UK, we do not recommend large untargeted fiscal packages at this juncture, as it is important fiscal policy does not work at cross purposes to monetary policy”.

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.

@naomitaylor Ladies sheer ankle socks? Feel very different. Also, if it’s not really really cold, how much does it matter? When it does get really cold the feel may be less of a problem?

RT @IanSollom: It would be nice to think that the gov’t take this kind of statement from the IMF seriously.

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)

RT @YouGov: In the lowest income households, more than a quarter of Britons have been *forced* to make spending cuts to staple foods (29%), household essentials (28%) and toiletries (27%)

RT @LibDems: If you work in a shop or a factory, in an office, in the health service, if you're a teacher - your taxes are going up.

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.

RT @Peston: Abolition of top rate of tax by @KwasiKwarteng is opposed by 72% of voters, including 69% of Tory voters, says @YouGov for @thetimes. Similar proportions oppose scrapping of bankers’ bonus cap. This increasingly looks serious unforced error by @KwasiKwarteng and @trussliz

Pretty damning from the pubic as well as the markets. Unfair AND ineffective. 🤦‍♀️
RT @YouGov: How effective, if at all, do you think the measures the Chancellor has announced will be at growing the British economy?

Very/fairly effective: 19%
Not very/at all effective: 52%

RT @mikegalsworthy: Good morning.

Here’s the update:

During the night, the pound fell to its lowest level ever against the dollar, making huge sums for all those British hedge funds - and hugely impoverishing the rest of us.

RT @TorstenBell: Later this afternoon we'll be setting out what huge market moves since Friday morning mean for:
- government borrowing
- your mortgage
- inflation
This is not a game

RT @MrKennethClarke: The government is set to relax immigration rules to help fill the vast number of job vacancies in the UK. Why did we leave the EU again?
