The best bits of the mini budget got "drowned out by media noise and "market turbulence," says the Chief Secretary to the Treasury Chris Philp, as he gets drowned out by the sound of protesters outside.
Chris Philp asked why he doesn't just make the whole of England an "investment zone" with lower raxes and regulations, replies that "Obviously if these are successful we will see what that means for the rest of the country".
Chris Philp says the government, which just triggered a collapse in the value of the pound after announcing tens of billions of pounds in unfunded tax cuts, has "iron fiscal discipline". #CPC22
