Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg has tried to claim that recent economic turmoil is "not necessarily" to do with the disastrous mini-Budget.
In a tetchy interview, the Business Secretary accused the BBC of breaching its impartiality guidelines by questioning him on the fallout after Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's tax-cutting blitz spooked markets.
He admitted that the economy had "some good points and some areas of difficulty" as new GDP figures showed this morning that the economy shrank by 0.3% in August.
