PRIME Minister Liz Truss has defended Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's champagne party with financiers who may have profited from the financial crash in the hours after he announced the government's disastrous mini-budget.
Kwarteng has faced calls for an inquiry after it emerged that he attended a bash with hedge fund managers who would make financial gains from the crash of the pound.
According to The Times, the financiers egged the Chancellor on to push through with the plans despite the growing panic over the state of the economy during the bash on Friday September 23.
