CHANCELLOR Kwasi Kwarteng is being urged to quit after taking a “wrecking ball” to the UK’s finances.
The SNP and the Scottish Greens have both said Kwarteng must go after his tax-slashing mini-budget announcement sparked a week of economic turmoil.
In the aftermath of the Chancellor’s announcement – which included the abolition of the 45p income tax rate for people on more than £150,000 – the pound plummeted to a record low against the US dollar, before the Bank of England was forced to make an emergency intervention to save pensions.
