Mini Budget aka Fiscal Statement

[SueEllen]

That was the case with 50% tax rate in place - none of of the above requires more than a modest amount of council tax, which has gone up a lot too

Council tax pays for education and social care of local people. These two things cost a lot. Or haven't you ever looked at the paper that comes with your council tax demand?

The Labour party has jumped ahead of the Conservatives in the latest polls with the biggest lead since the late 90s when Blair came to power.
According to a YouGov poll Sir Keir Starmer’s party is 33 points ahead.

It is thought to be the largest poll lead enjoyed by any party with any pollster since the late 1990s.

Data shows just 37 percent of 2019 Conservative voters said they were planning to stick with the party.

Truss to have talks with OBR
https://www.theguardian.com/politics...o-calm-markets

Liz Truss will hold emergency talks with the head of Britain’s independent fiscal watchdog after failing to dampen panic in the financial markets or shore up support from Tory MPs on her radical economic plan.

In a highly unusual move, the prime minister will meet the Office of Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) Richard Hughes on Friday, along with her chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, before being presented with a first draft of its full fiscal forecasts next week.

One government insider said the OBR meeting was “like trying to read the manual after you’ve broken the thing” after last week’s announcement of sweeping tax cuts triggered investor panic over the future health of the UK economy, prompting a sharp fall in the value of the pound and driving up government borrowing costs.

Interesting, suddenly there's a risk of people loosing homes and Tories are not that popular. I guess as long as sh*t doesn't affect the average Tory voter then all is good.

I think the UK is heading towards becoming a low income high tax economy.

Last night I heard someone point out that Truss should stay in hiding and not give interviews as when she did the FTSE fell.
