RT @MichaelRosenYes: Loving how the broadcast media say the phrase 'welfare cuts' as though it's something neutral or matter-of-fact. Welfare cuts mean pain, hunger, illness and premature death.

Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng need to get back to their offices and sort this mess out.

RT @SamCoatesSky: No10 and Treasury ministers reject any notion tonight that there's a crisis. Meetings are continuing on a range of subjects in Number 10 - but there's no big focus on the market turmoil. Ministers in cabinet rubbish the link between Friday's statement and today's turmoil....

Am told the BoE were responding to a “run dynamic” on pension funds - a wholesale equivalent of the run which destroyed Northern Rock.
