Then the retribution will start as to why all that stress was created unnecessarily. Labour should make the most of these days of popularity. In the end, the opinion poll ratings will be seen as a mid-term bubble.

Fake news alert #1
The OBR did offer to produce the numbers. See
here. This was even flagged before the fateful mini budget! See
here.
Fake news alert #2
The government has only agreed for the figures to be produced on 23rd November not in October. Many wiser souls in the party have requested they are produced earlier and hopefully Truss will perform a u-turn on this soon. See

If a loyal defender of Truss like you has to resort to dreaming up facts, it doesn't inspire me with confidence on her performance!
