Chancellor set to spook the markets on Halloween

EMBARGO: For Immediate Release

Chancellor set to spook the markets on Halloween

Responding to the news that Kwasi Kwarteng's fiscal plan is being brought forward to Halloween, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spoksperson Sarah Olney MP said:

“This is yet another screeching U-turn from a government that’s lost control of the economy.

“The Chancellor needs to explain what he’ll do to tackle soaring mortgage costs caused by his botched budget. The government’s silence on this mortgage misery is growing more deafening by the day.

“Without a clear plan to protect homeowners this risks ending up as Kwasi Kwarteng’s Halloween horror show.
