Keir Starmer wasted no time quizzing Liz Truss on her mini-Budget at PMQs today (12 October) as the leader of the opposition repeated: "Who voted for this?"

"Not homeowners, paying an extra 500 on their mortgages. Who voted this? Not working people paying for tax cuts to the largest companies," he said as the prime minister looked on, irritated.

"Who voted for this? Not even most of the MPs behind her, who know you can't pay for tax cuts on the never-never."

The Bank of England raised the interest rates causing higher mortgage payments, not the government. Should we reorganise the Bank of England so that the government decides? Probably not, but I don't like the idea of unelected people being in control of our currency, especially when they get forecasts wrong, as they did for September, when the economy GREW by 0.2%, instead of shrinking like the BofE forecasted.
