A general election must be called after the Prime Minister's catastrophic mini-budget was almost entirely thrown out, according to a county MP.
The new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt made the announcements in a live address
In an announcement that included limiting the Government's energy price cap guarantee to six months rather than two years, he said:"The most important objective for our country right now is stability. “At the same time as hanging hardworking families out to dry, the Tories are protecting the profits of the oil and gas giants when they should be introducing a windfall tax.
"He has done what he had to do, which is to work with the Prime Minister over the weekend to identify the measures needed to restore confidence that the government was not going to be exposed to a fiscal gap." "The energy support package was more generous than that offered by comparator countries and was unaffordable."Jeremy Hunt is taking the right measures in these exceptional circumstances and he has the confidence of the markets."
