how do people earning under £20k PA cope or less. Those that dont qualify for any benefits like UC

They don't cope. They'll be told to magically find more hours or a better job. Oh and don't forget extra childcare that costs £300 + per week

One "proper" job and one working for Deliveroo. And hope you don't drop dead.

They dont care how the poor cope or dont

I have no idea on the impact of this, but anyone earning under 20k should pay 0 taxes on their earnings.

Give it a month and Hunt will be PM.

£ is up, markets are happy, he looks and sounds competent. His fundamental philosophy is the same as Kwarteng and Truss but he's smart enough to know when and where to implement it.

'He looks and sounds competent'
Looked as though he was reading from a scrap of paper to me and didn't come across well.
But is he competent in reality?
We don't know yet.
He is reacting to a cock up and so in reality he had no option but to do what he did.
Remember he has no treasury experience and screwed the NHS and was proposing Esther Mcvey as his deputy had he won the leadership contest!
Also politically he made three big foxes paws - more or less reverted to Labour's six month energy plan, failed to announce a popular windfall tax and failed to reverse the lifting of the bankers bonus cap.
Competent my arse.

Mr Jeremy ****.

As health secretary he commissioned a report to have a clear pandemic strategy then junked it because he said it wouldn't be value for money...

That speech was sucking the city of London cock not helping the people they are supposed to represent.

Think he was more interested in damaging Truss and positioning himself to take over than any long term economic thinking.

Therese Coffey has been criticised for giving antibiotics to a friend, pity she couldn’t have offered her half her lunch she wouldn’t be so fat the ugly ****

Nadine making a call for Boris to return. If only the Match Day Thread had such unwavering loyalty, the lot of a Moderator would be easier to bear.
