Sounds like Sunak wanted to balance the books a bit whilst Boris wanted tax cuts on top of the energy handouts on top of the covid spending. Not great for Starmer, if the bond market moves any further he's going to have no wriggle room for spending if he gets in and that will then upset the Corbynistas in the party.

Kurosagi Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Some DM reporter says: "Tory source says 1922 Committee drawing up contingency plans for leadership hustings to start as soon as Monday. Would allow time to complete run-off before recess, with Tory members voting on the final two in August. But would require the PM to be gone this week..."
