If regulators had seen the Sep22 pensions crisis coming - and Truss had been warned - she would have cancelled the mini-Budget. But no one did see it coming, so it suited a great many people to blame Truss for the whole debacle.

Having been a government Minister I can tell you that’s not true. But if you have world class advisers, you listen to what they say. With respect.

Be under no illusion. The man in the middle cannot make *any* decisions on lockdown rules unless the two men on either side agree to back that decision in public. The advisers have become the decision makers. I don't remember voting for Whitty or Vallance. Do you?

All the baby boomers who are now mortgage-free home owners went through paying interest rates three times what they are now. 16% was normal. We didn’t have much choice, but home ownership rocketed, and we survived.
