The newly-minted Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, has set out his emergency plans he’s hoping will mend the chaos wrought by his predecessor’s mini-budget - by scrapping “almost all” of Kwasi Kwarteng’s tax-cutting measures.
So, will Hunt be seen as a steady hand to bring UK finances under control, and where does this all leave the political future of PM Liz Truss?
On this fast-moving day in Westminster, The Leader’s joined by Evening Standard deputy political editor David Bond and economic commentator Laurie Laybourn.
