'Hasn't he just fired the starting gun for a run on the pound?'

My Question to Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng earlier.👇

It seems the news in the last few hours confirms my fears...
#MiniBudget

The Chancellor has made clear what his priorities are.

A return to the trickle down of the past, not a brave new future.

This is casino economics - gambling the mortgages and finances of every family in the country.

It is reckless, and it is irresponsible.

It's not just the public that has no confidence in this Government, it's the market too.

Sterling down 5% on the dollar after details of the #MiniBudget trailed in the last ten days.

The Chancellor is taking us back to Barber’s failed 1970s.

Labour’s Matt Western MP 💙 just asked Kwasi Kwarteng
'Hasn't he fired the starting gun for a run on the pound?'

Kwasi Kwarteng speaking.
Sajid Javid shaking his head.

The public will be in despair.

NEW: Interest rates rise to 2.25%.

This Tory government has lost control of the economy.

By putting such huge unfunded and uncosted sums on borrowing they’re pushing up mortgage costs for everyone.

Their reckless approach is an immense risk to family finances.

We need a complete transformation in how we deliver childcare, from the end of parental leave right through primary school.

I’ll be setting out the first step on the road to a modern childcare system at Labour Party Conference next week. standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

I received the following email from the company's Operations Director. I have responded and written to Sainsbury's as well.

This should not have been allowed to happen.

Great and exciting work Jeremy Miles and Mark Drakeford.

Students are at the brunt of the cost-of-living crisis.

It's feared 50%+ of students won't complete their courses due to financial concerns.

By freezing energy bills this winter, Labour’s plan would ensure no one pays a penny more.
