Salt n Vinegar Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 1 hour ago, Billy Jean King said: So Truss says she categorically will not be cutting public services to try to fund some of her mental mini budget. Starmer surely had to then press her on exactly how they were planning to service the borrowing as there doesn't appear to be any other options open to her with windfall taxation seemingly off the table too. Going to be extremely difficult to justify any real time benefit cuts after that statement today. Any rise short of inflation should be enough for a semi competent opposition to bury her. I don't have a quote of what she said, but I was a bit uneasy when she talked about the support for energy bills being public expenditure. That being the case, "public expenditure" levels might well be maintained, but the energy cap costs included in that total would need to be met from other unprotected budgets. The axe is going to fall somewhere and I don't think it's going to be pretty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, the bank is the REAL problem here folks. Liz Truss may raise corporation tax in further budget U-turn. Liz Truss is on the cusp of putting up corporation tax as part of a Downing Street plan to back down from the huge package of unfunded tax cuts in her mini-budget, sources claim. The prime minister has been under intense pressure from jittery Conservative MPs to stage a major economic U-turn to calm the markets in the face of a financial storm. However, the move would represent a massive climbdown as her promise to cancel Rishi Sunak’s plans to put up corporation tax from 19% to 25% was a central pledge of her leadership campaign. One government source told the Guardian that No 10 officials were reviewing the mini-budget in order to shore up Truss’s premiership after Kwasi Kwarteng’s disastrous economic growth plan last month. Another source suggested that the option of raising corporation tax was “on the table” as the prime minister tries to balance the books – although this may be by just one or two per cent. They indicated that no decision would be announced until the chancellor had returned from Washington, where he is at a meeting of the International Monetary Fund, on Friday. However, there was speculation on Whitehall that the scale of the U-turn could make it impossible for Kwarteng to continue in post.
