Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has unveiled a £45billion tax-cutting bonanza in a mini-Budget which offers boosts to big businesses, bankers and the richest Brits.
The pound dived to a fresh 37-year low amid panic in the markets at the eye-watering cost of the plans, funded by £70billion in Government borrowing.
Labour's Rachel Reeves likened Prime Minister Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng to "two desperate gamblers in a casino chasing a losing run".
