CHANCELLOR Kwasi Kwarteng repeatedly refused to comment on the collapse of the pound in an excruciating clip.
The Tory MP was quizzed by a BBC journalist as he made his way to the Treasury offices in London on Monday, following a record fall of the pound against the US dollar.
The SNP has warned that this will only "exacerbate" the current cost of living crisis, while a top economist likened the Tory party to a "doomsday cult".
