I’m not really sure how the Civil Service could have failed - Truss/Kwarteng clearly made up back of a cigarette paper policy making based on the fantasies of think tank a decade earlier.

The prudent thing would of course be to have waited, built an evidence base for the policy, costed it, waited on the OBR report. As Kwarteng attempted to defend the policy he pointed out it was announced a mere few days after the Queen’s funeral.
