CHANCELLOR Kwasi Kwarteng has blamed the “pressure” of the Queen’s death for mistakes made in the UK Government’s "mini-budget".
It comes after a screeching U-turn on Monday morning saw the top Tory scrap plans to abolish the 45p rate of income tax on earnings over £150,000.
The policy had formed part of a swathe of measures announced in the "mini-budget" which would have seen £45 billion of increased borrowing to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.
