Liz Truss has cancelled the unfunded tax cuts after being called (indirectly) moronic by the previous Reserve Bank Governor and seeing polling that 51% of the population wanted her to resign.

The pound rose in advance of the announcement.

What ? Only 51% of the people wanted her to resign ? After the most insanely stupid mini budget that almost crashed pension funds across the country ?

Honestly I think almost all the opposition parties and at least 35% of the Tory supporters would have wanted to see the back of her. That would be well over 51% IMV. More likely 65-70%

Wonder if there was corruption and a big currency trade tied to any of this and masked as "madness".
 
well Russia has already sent a simulation of a huge seawater bath to England ( i assume it would be the East Coast it would be a shame for the Welsh or Scottish mountains to spoil the event )

now strangely i thought Russia would save such a device for the US West Coast but maybe they have a couple ( or more ) of them

seems Russia is losing it's end on 'crude but efficient '
 
Comments to UK Prime Minister Liz Truss by King George III sums up the UK Government and economic prospects:

 
www.theguardian.com

Kwasi Kwarteng reportedly believes Liz Truss ‘only has a few weeks’ – as it happened

Source close to sacked chancellor briefs Times that ‘wagons are still going to circle’ around embattled prime minsiter
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

The UK's Chancellor of the Exchequer/ Finance Minister has resigned and he is the third this year to resign and a fourth has been appointed. The UK government is on its knees but having an 80 seat majority in parliament means it can survive for more than two more years. Trouble is that if Liz Truss resigns as Prime Minister which looks certain squabbles within the ruling Conservative party are set to continue in the new banana Republic.
 
Good evening
Prime Minister Liz Truss has announced she is resigning from office, putting an end to speculation around her future and making her the shortest-serving prime minister in UK history.

Kind regards
