A shame that we've done untold damage to the tourism industry by sending so many EU workers away from the UK because of Brexit.

Yes, those two potential benefits of a weak pound have been taken away. Hospitality especially in rural areas has been decimated, everywhere is desperate for staff. Which will inevitably lead to worse service and levels of customer spend and satisfaction at best, or companies just going under at worst.

David Cameron will rot in hell for the part he played in this.
Caused it to appease back benchers, left the door open to the racists, the xenophobs, the liars, the cheats and the fascists and then he ran away.

Run! Run!
Good morning from Citi: "We see no near-term end to the UK’s fiscal woes. We recommend selling GBPUSD via a Put spread with strikes at 1.00/0.95 and expiry on 28 Dec 2022"

Kwarteng should resign, and he should take the rest of them with him.

This is a two-year cash grab, it's obvious. There's only one tiny minority of people who would stand to gain from Sterling losing it's value like this.

Liz Truss City backers 'made small fortunes betting against plunging pound', report claims (yahoo.com)
LIZ Truss-supporting investors made “small fortunes” as the value of the pound plummeted following the radical Conservative budget announced on Friday, a report has claimed.
An anonymous source quoted in the Sunday Times told the paper they had attended a dinner with hedge-fund managers who were said to have won big betting against the pound last week.
They were quoted as saying: “They were all supporters of Truss and every one of them was shorting the pound.”
i'm sure wee Liz O'Leary will have a cayman island account to collect her cut

Bank had to intervene to avoid mass insolvencies of pension funds...surely no way Truss and Kwarteng survive this.

Yup, don’t see how they survive the next few days, never mind weeks or months.
Have Labour been calling for a general election? They should be.
I’d expect one fairly soon.

NEW: Treasury sources say the Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng will not be resigning and there will be no U-turn on the policy.

Here is one way of seeing the scale of the markets rout that was close to wiping out pension funds. At start of year, 40-year gilt (government bond) with a 0.5% coupon was worth 85p. This morning it was trading at 25p and even after Bank of England intervention it's 34p.

Truss comes out of hiding with a call to Zelensky. A familiar tactic.

Whatever they are doing, can they please stop. The small shareholding I have is heading downhill faster than an Olympic skier.

I posted about more QE a while back with higher interest rates. It will get hammered but the bank has done the right thing here. Brutal on mortgage holders though and public services are again going to be slashed and the only thing left is the NHS the big target for the Libertarians. There's systematic fraud going on at a scale we've not seen before alongside ideological war. Yet the awful system of mutual back scratching in the UK blocks any ability to stop it. Shame on any Tory who can see what is going on and keeps quiet. Rats.
I long for independence.

Today’s Newsagents podcast has an interesting piece on the libertarian think tanks behind Truss and Kwarting. It’s a decent listen all the way through but the think tank thing starts in second half.

Unless they get a handle on this, and very very quickly, then a lot of people are going to be really badly effected by what is going on at the moment. If you own a home, regardless of whereabouts in Scotland, and are planning to sell within the next 2-3 years or are currently trying to get a mortgage and are currently buying at today's prices,I'd be extremely worried.
