Out of touch Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng was forced to perform an embarrassing u-turn over his tax cut for the UK's highest earners after it caused widespread outrage.
Mr Kwarteng and PM Liz Truss - who insiders say may be ousted by the end of the year - finally relented to growing pressure after Tory MPs broke ranks.
In a statement posted on his Twitter feed, the Chancellor said: "We get it, and we have listened."
