Since she promised to review the Bank of England’s independence, maybe she can move that up to really crater the British economy.
Irony of ironies. The non budget that was aimed at rewarding the bankers in order to ensure that the best bankers came to work in the UK is causing such a run on the £ Stirling that the BoE is forced to intervene to stop Financial institutions and Pensions companies from going to the wall....

So I guess we won't be getting those 40 hospitals?
The most amazing thing, which happened during Brexit as well, was that it seemed that the British government didn't seem to think that the rest of the world could see what was happening.
Somebody’s got to pay for those tax cuts for the poor surgeons earning just 150k plus a year.
If you build an extension it counts as a new hospital
True, except most aren’t prioritizing tax cuts for the rich.
Tory Party Conference next week when Truss and Kwarteng have to speak should be a good laugh.
Those 40 so called new hospitals were just another bit of government smoke and mirrors. In other words bullshit for the gullible masses.
I reckon at least 40 hospitals have been built just by the posters on the Caf alone.If you build an extension it counts as a new hospital
Still, they’ll probably blame all the troubles on the previous Labour government and foreigners.
I know. What is going on inside the UK government is at a whole new level of ineptitude and incompetence.
They took months infighting and mudslinging and navel gazing during a cost of living crisis, to end up voting for a PM who, with her CX has self inflicted a financial crisis and resulted in a run on the £ and been rebuked by the IMF. All inside a few weeks.
Even by recent standards, this is unprecedented.
Couldn't be happening to a nicer guy
I bet Truss will be gone before Putin.
Honestly I thought the Tories couldn’t get any worse with Boris.
This is for sure Liz’s “Hold my Beer” moment.

Boris will be back in no.10 by Halloween at this rate.
I can see him like Michael Myers bringing a new horror story every Halloween in perpetuity.

Who wants to call up and call her a Trussterfeck?
She'll say 'You're all going to need it, we're shafting you all!"

If history tells us anything it'll be rolling back spending increases over the last 7 years (spending has increased 5x faster than GDP); but whilst protecting pension, education and health. They'll also be stealth tax increases in the form of freezing tax bands/allowances that effectively reverse their own cuts very quickly but with less embarrassment.
With both major parties in agreement on over £100b of funding commitments at the moment (agreement on fixing energy prices, holding CT rates, 19p IT decrease & reversing NI increase); with also both parties not wanting to decrease spending and in fact talking about several billion of increased spending (infrastructure in Kwarteng's case and energy investment in Starmer's) the simple question is how are we paying for it.
In an environment where debt will be costing substantially more and departments will be requesting even more funding due to inflation; with markets already jittery about our ability to pay debt back and QE off the cards; I can only see large spending cuts along with tax increases on the agenda irrespective of who's in power (both of which will affect growth negatively, requiring more cuts or taxes).
