Seems fairly unequivocal…

Truss says public spending won't be cut

Truss says she will "absolutely" stick to a pledge made during her leadership campaign that she is not planning public spending reductions.

"We are spending almost £1tn of public spending. We were spending £700bn back in 2010," she says.

"What we will make sure is that over the medium-term the debt is falling.

"But we will do that not by cutting public spending, but by making sure we spend public money well."

I’m no expert, but shouldn’t the Chancellor look at the impact assessment and forecast before announcing his plan to the markets/world?
That is what I thought.
That he's no expert?
That’s what I said…
