But you fail to mention that Lord Frost thoroughly approves of what she's doing, so the next election is clearly in the bag. Just a bit of minor turbulence which is what you'd expect when a genuine radical shakes things up a bit - all will be fine, mark Mr Jinx's words

Yes, but that's nonsense.

You couldn't make it up

Is this the same hedge fund that some are saying Kwarteng visited 3 days before the not budget budget?

A Johnsonian style u-turn looks to be the only option now. I mean reversing the tax cuts because although market confidence won’t return (due this govt ineptitude) overnight, it would avoid the extent of borrowing needed for public services and its debt financing with rising interest rates. The public won’t buy Austerity v2.

The pantomime continues….
No chance of a u-turn. I can only see them sticking to their guns in the hope it works out. Some kind of scapegoat will be offered up: people on benefits, remainers, the EU. Anyone will do.

"Mr Odey, who despite being a prominent supporter of Brexit made £220m by betting against the pound during the EU referendum..."

And Brexit was all about a rebellion by the ordinary people against the privileged elite, wasn't it? And questioning whether it was a good idea was "a betrayal of the working class" according to the likes of Brendan O'Neil....

Avoiding the Hundred
IMF asking the Government to "Revaluate" their "Mini-Budget"
The Government did not “evaluate ” the policy in the first place so reevaluating is not really the correct word to use.

Just picked up with Sky news on the rift between number ten and eleven.Doesn’t sound as if they’ll be exchanging Christmas cards.Rather a case of when thieves fall out.

Looks like I’ve picked up a nasty cold from somewhere , at least I hope it’s just that. Might just pop outside the house to keep warm for a while.

Already? Normally the rift between those two addresses takes a few months at least.
