Some pretty scathing criticism in The Times from Tim Shipman (Twitter). The link in his tweet seems to dodge the paywall. Always great to see Tories ripping each other apart.
Britain Unhinged co-author Liz Truss is now ordering The Actual King to stay away from Cop27 as he might get in the way of the Conservatives destroying the environment. Gabriel Pogrund, The Times, (Twitter). Again this link seems to dodge the paywall.
Follow the comments too. It looks like The Times have had enough of this shit now and are pretty much declaring open season on Truss/Kwateng. It will be interesting to see how the fascist gutter tabloids play it. The Express & Mail so seem firmly in the defending the indefensible category, or did last time I saw front pages at the supermarket.
He’s just said, live on Radio 4, that the budget plans had been signed off by Truss before they were announced. This directly contradicts what Truss said yesterday.Or over ruled? He doesn’t seem the type to back down. It’ll be interesting to see who presents this information.
The barman gives them a discount, and they decide how to split it. The parable has departed from the real world at this point. Let's think about what the parable is talking about here: a reduction in income tax. The obvious ways to reduce the tax-take are a change in thresholds or a change in the rate of tax.
But, ironically, if the market 'recovers' a bit, that's more likely to stave off further u-turns because Twarteng can then argue that they fixed things with the 45p u-turn.One thing that immediately occurs about this reversal is I don't think it will fix much in the markets. Remember the 45% rate of tax is only £2bn a year which is nothing in the grand scheme of things and the real damage is one of market confidence in the Truss and Kwarteng.
So if there much movement in gilts and sterling this likely means the market is expecting more u-turns.

Au contraire. The parable shows us the politics and prejudices of the story teller. But we knew those anyway.
He means they chatted about it over a post-coital Marlboro Lite?He’s just said, live on Radio 4, that the budget plans had been signed off by Truss before they were announced. This directly contradicts what Truss said yesterday.
Labour Party and Corruption? Shurely shome mishtakeTony millionaire donors are even defecting to Labour now (Twitter). There really needs to be a cap on donations of say £100 IMHO. Huge sums like that can only possibly lead to corruption and can’t be viewed in the same way as say a trade union donation which are actually thousands of very small individual member’s donations.
They should smoke dope more often then…He’s very keen to push that it was a joint decision.
