Liz Truss said the Chancellor “meets business people all the time” after reports emerged he met with hedge fund bosses at a champagne reception after delivering the mini-budget
Mr Kwarteng went to the gathering at a financier’s Chelsea home on September 23, according to the Sunday Times.The PM defended Mr Kwarteng today saying: “He meets business people all the time, that’s his job.”
“And that’s what I’m focused on. That’s what the Chancellor is focused on and that is what the whole Cabinet is focused on.”Conservative donors who attended the champagne reception with the Chancellor after his mini-budget should be "lauded", the party chairman has said. He said the event had not been for hedge fund managers, although there was at least one in attendance, but instead had been for "Britain's leading entrepreneurs" as part of the "normal drumbeat" of party fundraising events.
