Five things to watch out for in Friday's mini-budget 👇
"The approach to date has not worked".This should not be a surprise for close watchers of the new Truss administration - in her reshuffle, the new prime minister made explicit that loyalty trumps competence.
Sitting alongside the PM at these meetings are her Chancellor, Mr Kwarteng, a long time colleague, ideological ally and fellow part of the Greenwich set in south east London. But while the government is borrowing tens of billions to pump prime growth and increase demand, the Bank of England is doing the opposite, this week sharply raising interest rates to dampen demand and reduce inflation - currently running at five times the official 2% target.The announcements could make for a sharp contract to the Governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey's plans
Ministers - who are worrying in private about high interest rates - need a better explanation than this.Friday will see another sharp mid-Parliament change of political direction and one iconic Truss policy will demonstrate this -"investment zones", which will be at the heart of her new vision for"levelling up".
It will also depend on the sheer numbers of rules and regulations residents and local businesses inside these zones will no longer have to follow.Any attempt to abandon environmental and planning rules has resulted in a rebellion at a local and national level. Will the new investment zones be a way of circumventing councils and Parliament to avoid such an outcry when concreting the countryside?
