A Tory minister has been mocked after he refused to accept that Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng were "peddling fantasy economics" during the mini budget.
Local government minister Paul Scully was laughed at during BBC's Question Time on Thursday evening when an audience member asked about the current economic crisis following the Chancellor's fiscal statement last Friday.
Since Kwarteng announced a wave of unfunded tax cuts, including a five per cent reduction for people earning over £150,000 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the markets have plummeted leading to the Bank of England having to step in to reassure the economy.
