Anyway the basic gist is that this government have decided businesses, universities and immigrants should pay the taxes that the median voter doesn’t want to pay. I’m sure that will have no worrying incidence effects or counteract ‘the singleminded focus on growth’.

To be honest I think “I’m going to give a press conference to tell the whole nation over their breakfasts about the absolute need for something big on tax, then just drop the idea 10 days later” may actually be more stupid than anything Truss and Kwarteng did.
