☆ Ex-UK PM Liz Truss renews calls for Reagan-style tax cuts one year after mini-budget blowup

Britain's former Prime Minister, Liz Truss speaks at the 'Great British Growth Rally' event on day two of the annual Conservative Party conference on October 2., 2023 in Manchester, England. Carl Court | Getty Images News | Getty ImagesMANCHESTER, ENGLAND — Liz Truss, the Reaganomics enthusiast who lasted just 44 days as U.K. prime minister, staged somewhat of a comeback Monday, drawing fans from breakaway Conservative Party factions as she renewed calls for business tax cuts. A year after Truss' chaotic mini-budget of tax cuts roiled financial markets and led to her ultimate resignation, crowds gathered in their droves on the fringes of the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester to hear the ex-leader deliver her economic vision for Britain. Truss was voted into power last year by Conservative Party members, whose number is estimated around 160,000 — or 0.3% of the U.K. population. She beat out Rishi Sunak, who later replaced her as prime minister following her resignation in October 2022.

☆ Moody’s lowers UK’s outlook to negative
  + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Hanna Ziady | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
The affirmation of the Aa3 rating is a reflection of the UK’s economic resilience, Moody’s said in a statement. Credit ratings are essentially credit scores for governments and companies. Germany, Canada, Switzerland, Australia and the United States have some of the best credit ratings in the world, while Argentina, Nigeria, Pakistan and India have some of the lowest ratings. Soaring food costs drove the annual rate of inflation to 10.1% in September, returning it to July’s 40-year high. As well as driving up borrowing costs for the government and adding pressure to public spending, any credit ratings downgrade would only weaken investor appetite for UK assets.
