Was always on the cards. Gives Labour an easy election angle, namely "The tories are cutting your services to ensure the rich get their tax cuts".

A few commentators said Truss's first 2 weeks would decide on what ground the election would be played. Seems that is becoming clearer by the day, and it's not looking positive for the tories.

To be fair Liz did say she would hit the ground and is happy to be unpopular, so ermmm, well done Liz?

More to the point where IS Mad Lizzie? Even Boris would have slithered out for a photo op in a hard hat by now.

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Predictably Zelenskyy has said that he had a phone call with her today. Although if Truss and Kwarteng do say anything they could make matters somehow worse.

How it works:

HMT gives each Department an efficiency savings target of (say) 2%.

That is removed from planned and approved budgets for the next financial year.

Ministers then discover new stuff they need to do costs 4% more than planned and approved budgets for the next financial year.

Result - planned and approved budgets for the next financial year actually rise by 2%.

Trust me, I went round that loop about ten times in as many years.

No way to talk about the late Queen. Disgraceful, unpatriotic and probably treasonous.

This will all but guarantee Labour victory at the next general election.

Its going to be damage limitation until the next G.E I am hoping the Tories will be annihilated. They don't deserve to be in power again.
