Jeremy Hunt's near-complete U-turn on the prime minister's economic plan has divided opinion among businesses in the South West.
The new chancellor has almost completely scrapped Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-Budget - including the majority of tax cuts - and has even hinted at a new windfall tax. He is expected to reveal more details in a statement on October 31.
The changes to the plan have been described as a "screeching handbrake turn" by the chief executive of Dorset Chamber, who said the original proposal was "poorly thought out" and had "backfired".
