But Kuenssberg asked: “Isn’t it actually just blatant opportunism to be trying to get this narrative going suggesting that the government is responsible for an enormous market wobble and turmoil when Liz Truss had that effect on the market with Kwasi Kwarteng a couple of years ago?”Stride said that the mini-budget is not why “business confidence is falling through the floor” at the moment, but the “actions of the government” at the moment.
