The markets are in meltdown – but at least Kwasi Kwarteng’s doomsday cult isn’t to blame

Great writing from the author here

I’m not saying Kwarteng’s efforts to retain his grandeur are doomed, but this feels a little like screaming “I don’t comment on this stuff because I have DIGNITY, OK?!” while standing naked in the middle of your local high street in a LIV golf cap with a nappy round your ankles.
__Shift your thousand-yard stare to the front page of today’s Daily Mail, next, to which this line has now graduated. The paper splashes with “FURY AT THE CITY SLICKERS BETTING AGAINST UK PLC”. Yes! Why do they hate Britain? Is it something to do with avocados? Are they in league with Meghan and the BBC? Are markets woke? Is the Mail on meth?
__Welcome, too, to the Treasury minister Richard Fuller, who looks like he’d list his hobbies as “prefer not to say”, and believes that young people should come off their “plodding path” and become venture capitalists. In many ways they already are, Richard. Buying anything less than a 600-multipack of a household essential is a cavalier act of faith in this economy.
