Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng was today forced to quell growing market unease over his low-tax, high borrowing strategy with a promise to set out more details in November, along with independent costings.

The Bank of England put out a statement too, saying they wouldn't hesitate to hike interest rates at their next meeting, but neither intervention seemed to reassure city markets.
The pound slid once again this evening, having hit a historic low against the dollar earlier in a rollercoaster day.
And amidst the turmoil - the cost of government borrowing shot up too.

Good going Liz. You kiĺled the Queen and the pound all in 20 days:)

Queen meeting Liz was the last hint she needed to leave this rotten country. RIP.

hahahahhahahahah
I had to smile reading ur comments. Respect
How can the Conservatives make such massive policy changes to what people voted them in to power on, they have no mandate from the public to do this. We need a general election immediately.
Of course they have the mandate. And no, we can't have elections because YOU want it. As they say, Democracy is the dictatorship of the majority.
Needed one months ago.
Ever hear the phrase never trust a Tory? The English electorate are only surpassed for political ignorance by the Americans
Yeah good luck with that
there's no point in an election we have no good people to vote for 🤣🤣 all as bad as each other
remember this next time they tell us we can't have public services because they're soooo concerned about the debt
The debt they made to make themselves and their friends wealthier when they are already too wealthy.
@Peter Hicks no they won't. they don't care if people vote or not, why else would they allow voter turnout to get so low
Liz's (corporates) tax free funds are credited to pana accounts 😅😂😂...
@Peter Hicks why do you think they care about your signs of no confidence? also you're confusing the stock market with the exchange rate
I can’t believe the media still has the nerve to talk to Corbyn like that after everything that has happened and is happening.
He was right about pretty much everything and has been wholeheartedly vindicated imo
Yea corbyn was right all along
Corbyn is part the problem. This is why the Tories are in power.
The guy even had a fully budgeted manifesto, sure covid would have derailed it but it's better than anything the Tories have done.
Just remember it was the labour right that did him in too. Constant attacks, leaks, coups. Not like voting for them is any better
Don’t worry, we’re in a “new age of leadership”. It’s been going on for 12 years but it’s different this time.

“If the pound keeps falling, then the prices of a lot of essentials will go up” - that’s another way of saying this country doesn’t produce anything. The UK is a paper based country (financial services). The manufacturing has long gone.
Same thing in the US to a much lesser extent but still
The end goal of the capitalist globalist cabal ...started a long time ago but in its current form continues from Reaganism and Thatcherism
Finance has been a cornerstone of the British economy, even before Thatcher gutted manufacturing and companies moved their labour to the developing world. It changes slightly depending on how it's calculated, but Britain is about 6th largest exporter in the whole world. Cars, medicine, fuel refinement, alcohol. Britain is one of the world's highest performing and productive economies. The real question is, where does all that money go, and why isn't it primarily used to make our lives better?
@@sc1338 True- both the US and UK have inflation rn, too. Different ways of approaching it for sure tho
@@sc1338 America hasn't lost any manufacturing whatsoever. It still has a massive car, plane, train and ship building industry and these are the industries that Britain threw away in the 70s and 80s. People in America complain that China has taken all their manufacturing jobs but it isn't true. All China has done is take over mass manufacturing of small items such as iphones because it has a huge readily available workforce. America would have to embark on a program of mass migrant workers in order to compete and that will never happen.
I grew up in a Conservative stronghold, my parents voted Conservative and I always had. Then I started asking myself what they are actually offering me as a self employed tradesman. The answer is basically zero. Time to give Labour a go they cannot do a worse job than this lot, it isn't possible.

I left the UK after living there for my whole life and moved to Australia in the middle of Covid. Two years later I still find it strange to be in a country where the economy isn't a complete mess. Yes, everywhere has it's problems but the UK is on another level. Anyone 30 or under (like myself) has only ever known recession, budget cuts, pound's value going down, austerity, tuition fee rises etc. And, for what? There are no 'good old days' to think of since this is all we've ever known. It's only after leaving the UK it became clear how overworked, underpaid and badly run the UK is. I hope one day things get better, I love my country.

I remember not long ago, we were getting almost 2.08 dollars for a UK 1 pound. I flew out to New York in late 2007 and bought a MacBook laptop, stayed there for 5 days too .. it was cheaper to do that then to buy one in England.
Ahhh the good old days
In 2007 that would be the Labour party good job they're on there way back
@@trevortaylor6634 his current policy is close to the plan that labour had during 1974... You might be a little young to remember but it's extremely similar and the pound lost value back then too. It's plan was acquire debt to push growth and let the bank of England deal with inflation. The plan ironically worked but in 79 we had the fuel crisis which wasn't factored in. This time around we already have that. That's why this country is stuck in a two party system because people vote for a favourite team and not the policy. Over the last decade the conservatives have recycled so many old labour policies and yet people still see them as a right wing party because people can't actually see the difference but rather like to pass the blame from themselves.

I’m a trader and by no means qualified economist, yet everyone I know, knows the £ has been struggling against the $ over the last year, 9 days before the mini budget the £ slid 4% so right at the moment the market is looking for stability and fiscal transparency the government deliver a mini budget with no transparency and no plan on how to pay for the increased debt, the budget delivered, and in one day we lost 3.5% of value , the chancellor was reckless and inept. If the chancellor was working for a bank and lost 4% of the banks £ holdings in a day due to his plan they would be dismissed for gross misconduct

2 things about this worry me…. 1) After 2 years of record borrowing and money printing the UK entered this financial crisis it is in and I don’t see how more of the same can solve the problem. 2) The USA did a very similar thing and has made their financial crisis worse.
Do you think the problem is more acute in the UK because of Brexit?
@@m.woodsrobinson9244 no. I think the problem is worldwide because of the health crisis that occurred.

There should be a new law allowing "the common people" to vote online on what the members of Parliament want to introduce in the UK!

One of Labours many tactical failures post Blair/Brown was picking Ed Miliband as leader over his brother. He wasn't ready at that time, but dear lord he has been crushing it the past few years. He was leader of the party at the wrong time in his career.

Lol Brit democracy more like oligarchy
Tories have always worked for their rich mates, not the common man
@Gammons Trout Yes they did. I knew, right then, when David Cameron lied through his teeth, that "we are all in this together" and it has always been so very clear, that with a Tory government, that we are most definitely not, all in this together.

No, you do understand perfectly correctly. We're just now run by 'think tanks' and ex hedge fund managers who enjoy fucking with the market for their own monetary gains.

The Tories did this too throughout Covid. 12 years and they've used every one of them to enrich themselves at the detriment of the nations prosperity. The UK will resemble a developing world economy soon. The Financial Times was already reporting people in Slovenia are better off than us.
Taking back more control…. 😂
Handing the wheel to a maniac or a child.
That entire tax burden just fled the country...
Let's just rub salt in the wound a bit more. Bullcrap going on as usual. I fear the future especially for our senior citizens 😢
I honestly believe we let the best chance slip, Jeremy Corbyn may been the prime minister we needed. But then the rich, the bankers wouldn't allow that to happen, would they.
Well said. Those underhand slimy bastards spread lies about him and ruined it.
Football Analyst have literally determined that the British Media is the most powerful tool in the world. More than anything it can inflate players sale price exponentially, it can start wars, it can make you hate a country you’ve never step foot in, it csn make you VOTE for someone who literally doesn’t care about you and just wants to fill their pockets. It’s not even politicians anymore. They’re doing bad things. Unless the media actually gets people off their asses to protest, then there’s no hope.
It’s true and I fell for them
Corbyn as prime minister 😂😂😂
@@kurez677 sorry.
Wow Ed Miliband is smashing it
The looks given behind this guy are Golden!☺ The UK is so screwed
Feels like the political system has become very adept at keeping the choice of leadership out of the publics hands.
The new chancellor seems to think he understands economic theory better than those that work with it. Such an opinion can only be formed by the world's cleverest person (where something uniquely is understood that no one else understands) or by a fool. Which is the most likely? And the jury is out.
Well, he did win University challenge and has a PhD in economic history.
it's boris johnson mess liz and kwazi cleaning it up
@@g0801215 true. which is a blight on his university. so he learned economic history but then seems to take the opposite lessons from it. Economy theory is based on a very long history - which levers to pull or release depending on the economic crisis - and why. As humans we often get the timing wrong - with drastic consequences. but the basic levers are known. Another point is that being brilliant means little for being right about things - because of biases. It's one of the first things one learns during critical thinking/logic courses. E.g. If someone has a religious belief in something, it matters not how smart they are - to sway them is nearly impossible.
Mock him all you wants but the man is clearly smarter than you fella
@@jimbojimbo6873 this is not a relative game. We want the most able looking after the national assets. His actions have just doubled the cost of living crisis for all but the top 1%. It will cost you and me £thousands over the next year and all you can say is that?
Seems that the trickle down is from mortgage payers to bankers. The increase in mortgage payment well in excess of any cash not taxed. Lunatic in No 10, Brain Transplant Donor in No 11.
And workers to billionaires, and pensioners to billionaires this is flooding up economy where the very wealthy are about to soak up everything from below.
😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢😢
Trickle down does not work. Page 3 of GCSE economics. I blame the Voters for having them there for 12 years and Corbyn for letting them stay there. The Left have allot to answer for.
Trickle down economics has never worked, it just moves profits up. It’s been 40+ years the USA has been practicing trickle down economics, and flow down of money has always been more of a slow drip drip drip, but definitely not a trickle down. You wanna drive an economy, you put dollars in the hands of consumers and let them tell industry what they need to produce, and how much. Nobody expands their business because they got a tax cut, unless their business was choking because they weren’t big enough, and if a company has a market big enough to pay the bills, they’ll borrow the money almost in spite of the taxes on extra profit.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Well made sure I have got the candles in & sharpened my saw and into the woods for Logs for the Winter
Time to start getting family heirlooms and old paintings/dishes/quilts appraised at the Antiques Roadshow.

Concervatism at its finist! lets look after the rich no matter the consequences.
The British people gave the Tories an 80 seat majority, maybe you should have thought about it first, but no, the Tories saved a few flags and bingo! the fools fell for it.
Bat Collins It was over the moment they allowed their media to be completely owned by activist right wing billionaires.
I really do hope this embarrassment of a government are going to give the taxpayers there money back
Well done Ed 👏
Absolutely incredible that JC's economic policies sounds more sane than the right
JC’s policies were actually what was needed, sadly the british media owned by right wing activist billionaires has done a good job of convincing people like you of the contrary.
His policies made sense
After all that ridicule it seems the tories found his "money tree"...and gave it to the wealthy.
They always were but vested right wing self interested vile and dishonest propaganda fooled many
Incredible only for those who believe the Tory claims about competent economic management!
Oof prepare for the great depression
Alreay there mate
It's been depressing since 2018
@@thabo5799 unfortunately i don't think we are quite there yet mid 23 is my prediction of it peaking.
The British public are to blame for it specially tories. Choosing a leader who hasn't had any idea about economics over a guy who is master on it was massive cluster. Mps and tories voters are to take responsibilities of this disaster🤯🤯
Just look at all those miserable Liebour droids filing past behind him...
...and this govt. wanted to weaken Ch4 - no wonder due to the honesty and quality of it's news service - Gary Gibbon is my hero!
Anyone else notice that there’s a crisis every 3 couple of months 🤔
As if this was predicted as far back as 1845.
Because the Conservatives are in power. They are horrible at governing.
It's called Disaster Capitalism. Jacob Rees Mogg's daddy wrote a couple of books about it. His son is a committed disciple to that philosophy.
This guy needs to sacked if not jailed ,straight away.
Mr Sunakan might be thinking now, "I said so"
a bunch of kids running the budget, not understanding barely how markets work
Cool now it'll be cheaper to visit the UK (what'll be left of it, anyway)
Who wants to go there? To watch people doing namaz on the streets? Or to visit the British Museum which looks like an ongoing crime scene?

The rich ones earn £10.000 extra due to her plans. The poorest earn £23 extra in a YEAR !!! It must be a blind economist who made these plans.
Why are foreigners always put in charge of the UK's finances.
Would love to know what the Tory members think about this.
So long as they remain rich they have no need to think.
While mostly keen to support their leader, many of them are keeping their heads down tonight. Wonder why?
@@antispindr8613 not seen anything of the leader keeping her head down also
@@jocondie2069 As for Tory MPs, are they that happy with their new leader right now?
Truss/Kwarteng would rather let the pound fall than admit they got this wrong or let BoE rise the base rate to 5%+, a run on the housing market will be worst for them and their Tory constituencies.
They didn't get it wrong. They planned this massive transfer of wealth to the rich. Massive cuts to Corporation Tax, abolishing the highest rate of tax, issuing licenses to explore gas fields in the North Sea, fracking, abolishing environmental controls. And by no means least, encouraging shorting against the pound as it plummets in value. They're doing everything humanly possible to enrich themselves and their backers as quickly as possible. Everything's going to plan.
They dont care. They only care about the super rich who dont have to borrow anything. Probably they will be able to snap up a few more cheap assets when the crash comes.
I mean you don't just change policies immediately because of a market reaction. Markets get things wrong all the time. If someone did that then I wouldn't want them in power. Hopefully the house market doesn't come down. It's wait too inflated but the government won't let it happen. House prices will be pushed up because of the stamp duty change.
And the rest of the stories. At Least Rishi got it right and any other with common sense, not even a economist and they want to take control of the Bank of England. Remind which school she went to.
@@cup1966wow they have boxed themselves in with Truss's promises. (A) if interest rate goes up, a lot of middle earners won't be able to keep up with their mortgage; (B) if interest rate doesn't go up, sterling will continue to fall, and we will all be a lot poorer in real terms; like you said, it will be hugely embarrassing for this Government to make a U-turn on its policies, so I don't really see any other option. Personally, I hope the Tories will see sense, and call for a vote of no confidence.
The pound also fell from 1,21 to 1,11 to the Euro in 6 months. It is not just the strength of the dollar. Going to the (euro) continent will buy you about 10 % less. On the other hand my euro will buy me more beer in the pub.
Does anyone have the total lost since June 2016?
