Jeremy Hunt to make a statement on the medium term economic outlook from the treasury at 11am

Good start him putting out the statement at 6am this morning, means the markets should be quiet this afternoon!!!

So how many mini budget U turns will we see….

Also…. If trussonomics is dead, and the pm and former chancellor were tied to the hip…. What is the point of this pm!!!

Gone by Xmas… she is such damaged goods it is now going to be death by a thousand cuts!

Jeremy Hunt as Health Secretary ordered the burning of 40million items of PPE to save storage costs. He ignored the recommendations of Operation Cygnus meaning the UK was unprepared for the pandemic. Alienated Doctors and Nurses. Has zero experience in the Treasury. Gamed the system to bulk buy a load of flats and avoid taxes.

Hunt is one letter away from his true persona!

If the statement today does completely undo the mini-budget and markets react positively, why would Truss stick around at all?

She will be humiliated in Parliament on Wednesday and that will only heap more shame and embarrassment on her and on the Conservative Party.

I think that her demise is very imminent because she now has no purpose. I just also hope that people see through the mirage though and realise that she was just the figurehead of right-wing think tanks like the IEA and that there decades long vision of the the U.K. should be governed quite literally unravelled in a matter of days.

Can you imagine what the cabinet meetings are like? She can have no control over her ministers as they all know she is a lame duck PM. I would think in her quieter moments she now actually wants to get away from politics as fast as she can.

I suspect Truss viewed herself as Thatcher mk2 but forgot this is a different world. I doubt she will sit for long on the back benches after she leaves no 10.

She will have to resign , she is finished as PM and in politics, Boris will be relieved that he is no longer the worst ever PM

You won’t need to wait till Wednesday for her to humiliated .. she will be sat next to him in parliament at 2.30 this afternoon when he speaks in the House of Commons.. and watch her face when he dismantles all her economic policies!

Starmer will ask for 12 questions on Wednesday rather than just 6!!!

If I were a smart opposition politician, I would have a big mass meeting of everyone who has a PMQ question, labour, snp and backbenchers… and just keep batting the point.. every single point

It was obvious from the beginning that the woman isn't fit for the job and that her fiscal plan is cuckoo-cloud stuff especially in the middle of an energy crisis. Yet she got elected by a majority of tory members because of promised tax cuts or was there more sinister reason? Anyhow you've to ask yourself are the tory members fit for purpose if they so badly fail in their choice and in consequence tumbling the financial markets into turmoil and jeopardise the party's credibility etc.

The mind boggles ... surely by now a flashing alarm light should come on if a politician strives to be a 2nd Churchill or Thatcher.

I suppose they could leave her and pretend she is in charge and spin the reality of a complete and humiliating about turn of what she said she wanted and stood for and will do once PM in her election..

She could use her charm and charisma to say well I did stand for all those things but now I don't but that's ok I have been decisive in my complete 180..

She could to elaborate her true driven self stand with her back to the media for four questions..

Basically gutted everything in the mini budget… plus energy support for 1 year rather than 2….

Truss May as well just resign now… see if he reverses the windfall tax decision next

Yes, the shit show as been no surprise to anyone with common sense who as watched her speeches and interviews over the last few years since she has held positions in cabinet.

She always came across like a robot who had been programmed with 3 phrases whenever she was asked awkward questions. As least Boris could bullshit and bluster his way through these moments. To me the only surprise was how quickly its sinking.

I don't see any resemblance between her and Thatcher ( apart from gender ). Thatcher whether you agreed her with her or not. Was a figure of authority, decisiveness and demanded respect. Truss comes across as the exact opposite.

I don't know why anyone who truly cared for her ( family or friends ) didn't try to stop her from running for the PM position. She was clearly out her depth.

Maybe the Tory membership has been infiltrated by Labour supporters who wanted a laugh.

The bit about that financial advisory group is ominous. Sounds like they'll push for big business getting as much as possible whenever they think they can get away with it.

And now Truss ran away again.

So she was too scared to turn up to answer the urgent question about her awful fuck ups. Then she turned up and sat like a gormless puppet while Hunt undid her demented budget. Then she ran away.

She's doing well, isn't she?

As the vast majority of the mini budget has been reversed, would this not be a good time to also reverse the policy of windfall taxes? Why not get it all done at once rather than waiting. I know Liz says she is against it but that hardly seems relevant anymore

The strange thing is that she is no longer delivering on the promises that allowed her to win the leadership race. So surely she would not surive a vote of no confidence already.

Sadly, I think Hunt will then become PM. And that makes me throw up a bit in my mouth.

Because he specifically said he would not announce or reverse anything that wasn’t already pending… I think with their still being a black hole even after the reversals that’s an easy place to grab some money without it being controversial…

Well he has 2 weeks to decide… if truss hasn’t gone by then, that final u-turn would be the death nail!
