    So, reading between the lines as I have the Tory fan boys on ignore..... Apparently the incompetence of a government that has been in power now for 12 long years is no longer the fault of Labour/Jeremy Corbyn/Diane Abbott/Tony Blair/Cherie Blair (delete as appropriate). It is now the fault of Labour supporters. WOW! <laugh>

    Peston apologises, Apparently this inverted way of signing is standard for these letters. It is important to keep learning!

    I am no financier, no fiscal knowledge whatsoever. And I would think some of the MPs that have been chancellor have no finance expertise. So to my mind why can't the government put the governor of the BoE in charge. Can't be any worse than now.

    Keir Starmer has called for a general election now regardless of whether Liz Truss is ousted by the Conservatives, saying the government is “completely at the end of the road” and Labour is preparing for power.

    In an interview with the Guardian, the Labour leader said Truss had driven the economy “into a wall” while “trashing our institutions”, and changing the prime minister again without allowing the country to vote would not be acceptable.

    I don’t gamble, but I am seriously thinking of putting a quid on the lettuce.
