£300B Wiped From UK Markets in Truss’ First Month as PM
At least £300 billion ($340 billion) has been wiped from the combined value of the UK’s stock and bond markets since Liz Truss became prime minister. Unfunded tax cuts, intervention by the Bank of England and a humiliating government climbdown have raised questions over the credibility of Truss’s government. Yesterday, Fitch Ratings lowered the UK’s credit outlook to negative from stable, citing risk that the new premier’s growth plan could increase the fiscal deficit. Joe Easton reports on Bloomberg Television.

From us here in Ireland who have also been victims of Uk policy for several hundreds of years, it's nice to see truss+ Tory Party doing such self-inflicted damage to uk economy

The Tories made a huge mistake choosing utterly clueless Liz Truss instead of Rishi Sunak. Now the country is paying for it. We need to get rid of Liz immediately!

The perfect economic storm a British prime minister was asked a number of years ago what can become dangerous for a Government. A combination of unseen events.

Ask her what she will do with the old turbines that aren't recyclable, into the ocean, make a bridge for all the invaders? Or on a barge to another 3rd world nation? Oh wait.

Truss said "vote for me, I'll make things better" well that never happened, it got worse & she is prepared to be a unpopular PM to get it done she said. If the normal person acted like her they would have lost their job. Get her out or she will ruin the tory party for good. Cut taxes for the rich, f**k the poor, is this not what dictators do? Remember Thatcher was ousted for the Poll Tax, Boris was out over a party, so what's the problem with her?

She's like the fkn Joe Biden of the U.K. . If you only had a conservative option , this is what happens when the older generation dies off and all that's left are idiots.

Bloomberg is a political channel masquerading as a finance channel. The UK is a political and financial mess for decades coming and the second Truss takes over all a sudden it's all her fault….lol…. and Bloomberg is only all to happy to promote this ridiculous narrative.

Absolutely! The S&P 500 lost about $1.04 trillion since Truss' first month as PM as of today. Anyone else wanna check other markets losses since she got in No.10?

This what happens when hard line conservatives get power. Not saying hard line liberals are better but they are a little and the obvious answer to ruling is somewhere in the middle.

I stopped panicking about the market the very moment I started working with Josef Dennis last year, his confidence and skills is on a maximum level…..
