The Bank of England may have saved gilts, but scorn and political danger for Truss and Kwarteng still have a long way to run — and could cut their careers short. 

The UK’s new prime minister wanted to make a fresh start for the country’s economy — and then hit the ground face first.

Government debt yields are close to a critical juncture.

MPs aren’t just worried by the basic conceit at the heart of Kwasi Kwarteng’s mini-budget, but also by the inept way it’s been handled.

This is a self-inflicted crisis at heart, but the scale of the turmoil also makes London look like a canary in the coal mine.
