good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. it lasted just over three weeks. today almost all of the prime minister's plans for our economy outlined in her so—called mini—budget have been junked by her new chancellorjeremy hunt. and tonight liz truss is fighting for her political survival with a few of her own mp's calling openly for her to quit and many more doing so in anonymous briefings. this gives you an idea of the scale of how much has been dropped from the pm's plan for growth last month which the then chancellor, kwasi kwarteng, announced in parliament and how little now remains. the 1p cut in the basic rate of income tax has been dropped indefinitely. it will remain at 20p. the two—year cap on energy prices has been cut — it will now last until april next year and be more targeted after that. and the new chancellor made it clear

that there will be cuts in public spending to come, something the prime minister had insisted would not happen. jeremy hunt told mps this afternoon that decisions need to be taken of what he called "eye—watering difficulty". the labour leader keir starmer accused the government of inflicting long—term damage on the economy. our political editor chris mason reports. a government on the run. sorry about the rain. a government on the run. sorry about the rain- the — a government on the run. sorry about the rain. the new— a government on the run. sorry about the rain. the new chancellor - a government on the run. sorry about the rain. the new chancellor is - a government on the run. sorry about the rain. the new chancellor is even l the rain. the new chancellor is even apologising for the weather. jeremy hunt was talking before dawn even before he broke the news this morning. any u—turn? the answer was yes, news was already breaking. mr hart was performing the last rites on almost all of liz truss' plans. her programme for government, dad. living hour by hour, this is what

hand to mouth governing looks like. camera crews were called to the treasury, ministers are petrified by the pace of events, yanking big chunks of massive announcement forward by a fortnight is not enough, even leaving it to this afternoon was too late. then there was a statement formed just after 11 o'clock as well. h0 was a statement formed 'ust after 11 o'clock as well.* o'clock as well. no government can control markets. _ o'clock as well. no government can control markets. every _ o'clock as well. no government can control markets. every government needs certainty about the sustainability of public finances. and they are doing that byjunking pretty much everything liz truss said she stood for. indie pretty much everything liz truss said she stood for.— pretty much everything liz truss said she stood for. we will reverse almost all the _ said she stood for. we will reverse almost all the tax _ said she stood for. we will reverse almost all the tax measures - almost all the tax measures announced in the growth plan three weeks ago that have not started parliamentary legislation. cancelling a rise in national insurance and changes to stamp duty insurance and changes to stamp duty in england and northern ireland are the only bits held onto. the plan to cut income tax in england, wales and

northern ireland is off. shat a cut income tax in england, wales and northern ireland is off.— northern ireland is off. at a time when markets _ northern ireland is off. at a time when markets are _ northern ireland is off. at a time when markets are rightly - northern ireland is off. at a time - when markets are rightly demanding commitment to sustainable public finances, it is not right to borrow to fund this tax cut. so i have decided that the basic rate of income tax will remain at 20%. and it will do so indefinitely. find income tax will remain at 20%. and it will do so indefinitely.— it will do so indefinitely. and that was not it- _ it will do so indefinitely. and that was not it. the _ it will do so indefinitely. and that was not it. the very _ it will do so indefinitely. and that was not it. the very crutch - it will do so indefinitely. and that l was not it. the very crutch against which the prime minister has lent three weeks of criticism, her help with energy bills for two years, that was being watered down as well. the prime minister and i have agreed it would not be responsible to continue exposing public finances to unlimited volatility volatility in international gas prices. so i am announcing today a treasury led review into how we support energy bills beyond april next year. there will be more difficult decisions, i'm afraid, on both tax and spending. i'm afraid, on both tax and spending-—

wherever she had been, we finally did spot liz truss making her way to parliament. just before half past four she arrived in the commons. her ministers shuffle along to make space for her as a growing number on her own side wonder when she might shuffle off as prime minister. a bit like the great wall of china, this wave of u—turns is probably visible from space. what today was about was the government attempting to reassure the markets that its numbers add up, but in so doing there is a danger that they so worry amongst millions of people. tax cuts in council, spending cuts coming, grim headlines ahead. and then there are the questions about the prime minister's feature, with so many on her own side thinking that she is now an empty vessel, marked off her believability, her agenda, now an empty vessel, marked off her

believability, heragenda, her believability, her agenda, her credibility. believability, heragenda, her credibility. and, yes, her programme for government is finished. but she insists she is not and she will be carrying on. chris mason at westminster, thank you. the government's emergency action today was to reassure the markets, which have reacted positively. so how much money has the government saved by ditching its tax cuts? and how big is the hole still remaining in the country's finances? here's our economics editor faisal islam. theink the ink was barely dry on the growth plan, the official name for the mini budget, when it began to fall apart in spectacularfashion. measure after measure have dissolved within just days. and now, after 2a days, all the tax measures not already passing into law, along with one of its authors, have vanished from the government's agenda. today the new chancellor did notjust announce a new chapter in economic policy, it was a complete rewrite of the £16

billion of tax cuts announced in the mini budget. we already had reversing the planned corporation tax cuts of £90 million and the £2 billion for the top rate of 45p, that was scrapped first. today another £7 billion in other tax cuts was clap, including a freeze on alcohol duty, leaving £17 billion. the stamp duty cut and the reversal of the rise in national insurance. butjeremy hunt went even further, not only cancelling the proposed early cut in the basic rate of income tax, but getting rid of it into the future, so going beyond reversing the mini budget policies and leaving the tax—cutting prime minister with a higher cap for the basic rate of tax than she inherited. that raises £5 billion a yearfor inherited. that raises £5 billion a year for the treasury. knock that off and you still have a hole of £12 million. but the gap has grown by £20 billion at least because the economy has been hit and we face higher interest rates. all in all a

large gap of £30 million and a squeeze on public spending, hard—pressed apartments perhaps, ha rd—pressed apartments perhaps, welfare hard—pressed apartments perhaps, welfare payments, perhaps more tax rises required. welfare payments, perhaps more tax rises required-— rises required. this will certainly hel us rises required. this will certainly help us towards _ rises required. this will certainly help us towards a _ rises required. this will certainly help us towards a much - rises required. this will certainly help us towards a much more i help us towards a much more sustainable public finance situation. the chancellor said he will be looking at spending. it is pretty unclear how much he will need to do, but if he does much at all over the next few years, that would take us back towards austerity because inflation has wiped out a lot of the increases announced last year. any significant change in their spending plans will mean cuts to public spending budgets. truth? their spending plans will mean cuts to public spending budgets. why now? this was all about _ to public spending budgets. why now? this was all about reassuring _ to public spending budgets. why now? this was all about reassuring the i this was all about reassuring the markets and you can see from this chart, which shows the cost of government borrowing, it did have the desired effect with those interest rates on government bonds coming down by 0.5%. let's put that in context. while today saw those yields come down, the cost of government borrowing is still higher thanit government borrowing is still higher than it was before the mini budget around here, higherthan similar

countries, suggesting an ongoing premium. but the big picture is a further spiral up has been prevented, as a credibility gap begins to feel again. it prevented, as a credibility gap begins to feel again.— begins to feel again. it was a relief to see _ begins to feel again. it was a relief to see what _ begins to feel again. it was a relief to see what the - begins to feel again. it was a i relief to see what the chancellor had to announce, but the measures that were taken today are not enough to really cover the whole of the budgetary black hole. for that we have to wait until the end of the month and october the 31st, and that will give us more detail about what the government is going to do to balance this budget. that will be essentially very important for the market outlook.— market outlook. some of those government — market outlook. some of those government borrowing - market outlook. some of those government borrowing rates i market outlook. some of those i government borrowing rates feeding into things like fixed mortgage rates and the cost of business lending, perhaps this stops that further increasing, but the flip side of that could be millions of people facing the full market costs for energy bills and higher taxes as well, and there is more to come. faisal islam reporting. so what is the likely impact of today's surprise announcements? 0ur consumer affairs correspondent

are you voting for independence or not? that�*s the question. and to help these voters, and their fellow scots answer it, nicola sturgeon has been setting out the economic case. the uk economy is in long—term decline. the uk economic model is failing, and failing badly. but, in relation to an independent scotland, people want to know, indeed people have a right to know this. can we do better? do we know how to do it, and will it be worth it? her answer, emphatically, yes. but there were questions about checks on the border, when a new currency could be launched, how an oil fund would work and more. is it not simply a fact that the first years, perhaps even the first decades of an independent scotland, would require tax rises, spending cuts, vast and expensive borrowing, or a combination of all of those? is this an easy path for any country? no. it�*s one that we are able, doing it this way, to guide through the sensible approach, consistent with our values. scotland already has some of the building blocks of an independent state. a parliament, for a start. this document attempts to sketch out the economic architecture. opponents say it still not enough.

i don�*t think any of the circumstances around scotland being able to be part of a strong united kingdom have changed, in terms of the questions that need to be answered. people are desperate to know exactly what it is that independence would actually mean. this paper doesn�*t provide that. this isn't a plan for change. it isn't a solution to the tory—made crisis in the uk. it's a plan for yet more crisis, doubling down a crisis from the snp. but what about those voters? how do they feel about the independence debate? economically, yes, there is going to be the upheaval. every country that got its independence, the first few years, had upheaval, because they had to set up a central bank, they had to set up all the institutions. brexit isn't done yet. we are still feeling the pain for that. l and i now think that - financially this is a terrible time to go for indyref2.

we've got inflation. running at 10% or 11%. imagine the hadrian's wall border crossing. | do not think we possibly have resources? we have a lot of wind in scotland. can we use this, can we generate more power, can we sell this power? you have heard the saudi arabia of renewables. the state—owned energy company. these are all things the scottish government could have done, that the snp said they wanted to do, and theyjust have not done. so how do we know that it's going to happen after independence as well? there are so many little things. all they are asking - you is do you want to be independent, do you not? it's a yes or no question. that a difficult thing to answer. if they get a chance, because they — we — are all waiting for the supreme court to rule on the legality of another referendum. james cook, bbc news, edinburgh. well let�*s return to our top story and yet more u—turns by the government as it ditches almost all of last month�*s

mini—budget, the latest twist in what�*s been an extraordinary few weeks. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth has been to coventry and nuneaton to see what people there make of it all. in the warwickshire countryside, this historic hotel and golf course, like many businesses, battled through the pandemic to be faced with rising bills and economic instability. 0wner rick has been a conservative supporter, but he has long been losing faith in the government, saying it�*s overlooked hospitality businesses like his. and watching the chancellor today left him far from convinced about what is ahead. this government has been a pretty chaotic show. and they�*ve got an awful lot of work to do to convince me that they really do know where they are going and what they�*re doing. do you have faith in liz truss on this government? i�*ve never felt less confident in a government in this country. never. nearby, nuneaton is a constituency that often reflects the national political picture. currently conservative, it has been labour in

political picture. currently conservative, it has been labour in the past. some say the prime minister should be given time. she�*s not been here very long, she is not made a great start. it see how she goes. not much confidence in the government really, at the moment. but i don't know who would be better to replace her. give her a chance, i think. see what she can do, _ what she can bring to the table. but i think she hasjust got to try and find i some trust in people. just off the high street, this cafe has been run by sharon for the past 13 years. a conservative voter, she has run out of patience with the government�*s changing position. one minute you�*ve got one thing, the next minute you�*ve got another thing. you just don�*t know whether you are coming or going.

we�*ve got liz, and if she�*s not running the country, she needs to go. do you think she is running a country? no. customer sheila and linda share a sense of frustration. what the cockeyed hell is going on? we�*ve had one, boris, out. now two. she�*s good, either. haven�*t they got one good one between them all? why not? i don�*t believe anything she says now. i don't think she is capable of running the country. why they voted her in, i have no idea. so, whether there is a change at the top or not, the past few weeks certainly seem to a political price. time for a look at the weather, here�*s chris faulkes. we eventually had some sunshine. the rain was reluctant to ease away from scotland. still a bit of rain left over from the same area of low pressure. that will pull away north—eastwards overnight tonight. what will happen over the next few daysis what will happen over the next few days is we get this ridge of high pressure building on over the north of the uk bringing with it some cool air. battling this area of low pressure to the south—west that has mild air but will eventually be
