A top Tory minister has said “sorry” for economic turmoil sparked by the Government’s mini-budget - just before new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt addressed the Commons following his U-turn on the disastrous economic plan.
Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt made the apology about the fiscal statement’s impact on Monday afternoon, as she stood in for Liz Truss to answer an urgent question on why the Prime Minister sacked former Chancellor Mr Kwarteng.
