Re: Liz Truss [Prime Minister]
This is damning for a party that once positioned itself on its fiscal abilities.
Quote:
The IFS reckons the “credibility cost” of the mini-Budget was about £10bn in extra debt payments each year. With that money we could fund significant tax cuts. We could build more than a hundred new hospitals.

It’s a LOT of money - but it’s now going on higher debt interest bills.

The “credibility cost” will also dent econ growth. Because millions of households will have higher mortgage costs & hence less to spend, it means lower GDP in future.

Citi reckons roughly 0.1-0.2 percentage points off GDP. Quite literally the opposite of “growth, growth, growth”
