2:03 pm
this story, this our in a moment will have the latest on the political fall out with under simmons. but 1st, let's go to join a hole who's live outside the bank of england in london, more changes. so john, are to the so called the budget, talk us to the economic plan unveiled driving your chancellor in the markets of reacting well. jeremy was keen, obviously, to get out as quickly as he possibly could, and reinforced the puzzlement positive sentiment with which the financial markets opened this morning. the pound immediately going up, the cost of government barring immediately coming down in anticipation of what this new chancellor was going to do in terms of raising taxes in terms of cutting public spending to try and fill that hole in the public finances. and their optimism amply rewarded by jeremy hunt, but he came out and set about absolutely decimating what remained just about all of what remained of that low tax, no regulation vision for growth,
2:04 pm
but liz trust and her chance of the previous chance that quasi qua tang unveiled the smoking ruins of the financial markets over the last couple of weeks. so the cut in the basic rate of tax gone. the cut in dividends. tax is gone. the cut in alcohol, duty rates, god that free shopping, gone. and so on. all of it, he said saving some 32000000000 pounds per year with more public sector cuts to come and essentially shredding this key policy plank of the list, trust government in the process. but there was more good news for the markets, but more very bad news police trust because he also announced major changes to the energy threshold. the energy price cap guarantee that she had brought in for 2 years. capping the unit price of gas and electricity in the face of soaring prices
2:05 pm
with the u, the war and ukraine. he has now reduced that to just a 6 month guarantee, with a review next april, with a view to helping people worst off with their price. with their energy prices, and that essentially is a labor party policy, each shreds the very last planck of least, trust is economic policy. the last thing that she could call her own and leaves the prime minister's credibility. and all sortie looking shakeelah than ever. thank you for that. john hall outside the bank of england in london, less crossover to andrew simmons now in westminster list stresses entire economic policy completely reversed sandra, as jonah said, they're good news for the market, but bad news for her. can she hold on to her job it's question of time whether it's short term or long term is still unclear. books, as jenna was saying is not just the fact that the whole of her package of tax cuts,
2:06 pm
economic growth has gone out of the window. but not only that, this sir, allowance for. busy the energy bills of millions of u. k. people are going, being rolled back from 2 years to 6 months, is really catastrophic for her politically because it was the one thing she had up her sleeve. it was the one thing that was outside all the u. turns it was even remarked upon by jeremy hunt himself when he took off the job as being a positive when the other was was, was a fast track, badly thought out set of tax cuts. so now she's gonna have to fight. and even more so than of the we can when she was in checkers the country retreat, working out her tactics, she's trying to convince the one nation conservative grouping the caucus that serve they should come on board her government to cause a more stability to try to actually get back on track in terms of the credibility
2:07 pm
of the conservative party. but it's a big asked because she's, well, she's wounded not only wounded, she's fatally wounded in the, in the words of one politician that there are very, very strong moves going on in westminster to either change the 19 $22.00 committee back bench committee rules are on the leadership challenges in the, this prime in us, any proud new prime minister, nobody would get a guaranteed one year without any challenges to their position. now maybe she could use that, but unlikely if in, in a, in a position when they, we wanted to get her out. because that committee can change the rules when it suits it's been done before. i could happen a and if they regard, this is serious enough, but there's another option and that is that maybe it will go in the favor, the one nation or a conservative groupings and they may see her as really somebody who will take the flack for. so long before they bring in their own candidates,
2:08 pm
and then that would be before the election, the end of 2024. that that's that period of time that's left. so there are lots of machinations, lots of working out. it doesn't seem there's going to be anything immediate in terms of, of less trust, suddenly standing down or anything, but the skids are on her in a very big way. thank you for that. andrew simmons live in london in other wells news. drones strikes in ukraine's capital have killed at least 3 people, an injured 18 others. officials say key west trunk several times in an early morning attacked by russian forces using jones. it's may i say they hit the central shaft shanaski district. the area was shared by russia last week. everything we're headed through it now. hotel. it's just there. it's there at that here in historical to leave the details and what the russians,
