Less than 2a hours after Kwasi Kwarteng insisted he was 100 safe in his job as chancellor he has gone sacked by liz truss after he flew back early from washington for crisis talks. 3 weeks of turmoil on the Financial Markets has culminated in the Prime MinisterAnnounceing A Second Major u turn on her economic plans for Growth Corporation tax will now rise in april after all. She has sacked the chancellor and named a new one jeremy hunt the 4th this year. At a very short Press Conference this Afternoon Liz Truss was repeatedly asked about her credibility as Prime Minister and why she was remaining in the job. Lets take a listen to what she had to say. My my conviction to this country needs to go for growth and is rooted in my personal experience. I know what its like to grow up somewhere that isnt feeling the benefits of growth and i so what that meant and im not prepared to accept that for our country. I want a country where people can get good jobs and new businesses can set up in families can afford an even better life. That is why from day one, i have been ambitious for growth. In financial crisis, the potentialfor this great country has been held back by persistently weak growth. I want to deliver a low tax high wage, high growth economy. It is what i was elected by my party to do. That Mission Remains. People across this country rightly wants the ability and that is why we acted to support businessmen and households with their energy costs this winter. And its also the case that Global Economic conditions are worsening due to the continuation of putins appalling war in ukraine and on top of this, that was a helping people through the covid i9 pandemic. But it is clear that part of our many budget went further and faster than the markets were expecting. The way we are delivering our mission right now has to change. We need to act now has to change. We need to act now to reassure the markets of our fiscal discipline and i have therefore decided to keep the increase in Corporation Tax that was planned by the previous government. This will raise £18 billion per year. It will act as a down payment on ourfull medium year. It will act as a down payment on our full medium term fiscal plan which should be accompanied by a forecast at the independent opr. We will do whatever is necessary to ensure debt is falling in the economy in the medium term. We will control the size of the state to ensure taxpayers money is always will spend the Public Sector will become more efficient to deliver World Class Services for the british people and spending will grow less rapidly than previously planned. I met the former chancellor earlier today. I was incredibly sorry to lose them. He is a great friend and he shares my vision to set this country on the path to greatness. Today i have asked jeremy hunt to become the new chancellor. He is one that was experienced and widely respected Government Ministers of parliamentarians. And he shares my convictions and ambitions for our country. And he will deliver the medium term fiscal plan at the end of this month. He will see through the support that we are providing to help families and businesses, including our Energy Price Guarantee is protecting people from Higher Energy bills this winter. And he will drive her mission to go for growth, including taking for the supply side reforms that our country needs. And we owe it to the next generation to improve her economic performance. To deliver higher wages, newjobs and Better Public Services and to ease the burden of debt. I have acted decisively today because my priority is ensuring our countries economic stability. As Prime Minister, i will always act in the National Interest. This is always my first consideration. I want to be honest. This is difficult. But we will get through this storm and we will deliver the strong and sustained growth that can transform the prosperity of our country for generations to come. I will now take questions and can i start with ben riley smith. Clearly, a difficult day start with ben riley smith. Clearly, a difficult day. Game start with ben riley smith.

Jeremy hunt is chancellor is somebody who shares my desire for a high growth low tax economy. But we recognise because of current market issues, we have to deliver the mission in a different way. And thatis the mission in a different way. And that is what we are absolutely committed to do. Achieving that stability and what is a very difficult time globally. Robert. Prime minister.

Unprecedented events weve seen but there was a question that liz truss is asked that she did not seem able to answer and that is why she should continue in government when she was sacking the chancellor and we heard earlier in this programme that they said she just did not answer the question about why Kwasi Kwarteng should go and she should stay when they develop these policies together. What is your response to that question a lot more to the point, she did not answer the question that wasnt asked. None of the four journalists who were questioning her asked her why she sacked the chancellor. Asked her why she sacked the chancellor. ,. ,. Chancellor.

But i think that the Appointment Ofjeremy Hunt who was the secretary of state, not the easiest job for very long time and forforeign not the easiest job for very long time and for foreign secretaries is a self made businessman who understands economics and understands economics and understands business. And is also probably one of the most mild mannered encourages members of the house and i think that appointment may prove to be a stroke of genius. If anybody can turn this around, i would suggest thatjeremy possibly can. Around, i would suggest that jeremy possibly can possibly can. With that be enough, do ou possibly can.

Ti9 jury is out, she is on the been Prime Ministerforfive jury is out, she is on the been Prime Minister for five weeks it seems hard but its true. She said to do on those five weeks with the death of her majesty, the queen, which i believe most people feel she handled with dignity and grace. And under very difficult circumstances. She has pledged to support to ukraine entirely. And she has taken the trouble to attend, i think wisely, the european political meeting in prog and mended some fences with president macron. So, those are pluses. It seems to me that there is a fine irony that having achieved all of those things, she is actually than Vector Ownership with this many budget it makes them upset Thatjeremy Hunt can steer a better course and i think shes got at least until the dreaded halloween evening when the cpr dreaded halloween evening when the 0pr will report in the chancellor, the new chancellor will make the report and if that works, then they may be some clear water add.

Please, please, please let this be over a few years ago, David Gordon Green and Jamie Lee Curtis did Something Interesting with the halloween franchise, updated halloween with added ptsd, Something Interesting and then they spoilt it all by saying it is a trilogy, so then we had halloween kills, which is just back to the usual stuff, plod, plod, plod, plod, staby, staby, plod, plod. Now, Halloween Ends which has a usual Plodding Staby st
