UK's Truss sacrifices finance minister, scraps tax plan in fight to survive:
reuters.com/world/uk/uk-pm-truss-determined-deliver-growth-plans-minister-2022-10-14/
Quick Glance: Kwarteng fears sack as chancellor when Liz Truss reverses his Budget.
- There was no official confirmation from Downing Street of the impending move, which was leaked when Mr Kwarteng returned to central London from Heathrow after cutting short his visit to New York for IMF and World Bank talks.
- Only yesterday, Mr Kwarteng downplayed expectations of further U-turns, claiming that he was concentrating on preparations for a medium-term fiscal plan statement due on October 31, in which he was expected to explain how he planned to pay for the tax cuts.
- "This is a Tory crisis, made in Downing Street."
- "Only a Labour government has the credibility, authority and plan to fix things."
