It’s been a week since the chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, delivered his “fiscal event”, heralding “a new approach for a new era” that left the Daily Mail cooing: “At last! A true Tory budget.”The impact of which has been devastating, with even the Tory-supporting Economist saying the government’s reckless incompetence may have already damaged it “beyond repair”. Here we look at the key figures that defined one of the worst probation periods in history.£65bnThe Bank of England t...

Britain has been through the wringer since September’s mini-budget. Not only was Kwasi Kwarteng’s not-so-mini plan the trigger for a domestic financial crisis and raising mortgage costs for millions, it lit the blue touchpaper for his political downfall and that of his close friend, Liz Truss.It was all supposed to be so different. Truss had spent the summer promising to cancel the rise in national insurance and corporation tax in the Conservative leadership race. Those pledges, plus the pop...

When Kwasi Kwarteng claimed his budget-busting plan for growth would usher in a “new era”, it is unlikely he had in mind a sterling crash, rocketing mortgage rates and a 33-point poll lead for Keir Starmer.But over seven nerve-shredding days, Kwarteng and Liz Truss’s bold economic experiment, hailed with glee by the free market thinktanks, has been comprehensively trashed.After Friday’s historic statement, Kwarteng was sufficiently relaxed to take his advisers to a Whitehall pub, posing ...

Jeremy Hunt’s move to rip up most of last month’s mini-budget should help strengthen a housing market that was beginning to wobble and could relieve some of the downward pressure on prices, analysts have suggested.However, other experts warned the new chancellor’s intervention might not be enough to stave off the risk of “significant” house price falls, and that even if new mortgages did become temporarily cheaper, the sizeable interest rate rise expected in November meant many borrowe...

Teachers and nurses will see their income taxes increase next year while top bank bosses will enjoy a cut worth more than £100,000, according to a new analysis of Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget.While the tax-cutting package brought forward a promised reduction in the basic rate of income tax from 20% to 19%, that cut will be more than offset by a decision to freeze the point at which people start paying tax. It means that some key workers will be paying more income tax next year.A teacher on a ...
