With a statement later today.

/The OBR has a statutory
requirement to provide two
forecasts a year, and said it
offered Mr Kwarteng one on his
first day as chancellor.
The chancellor did not
commission one, and the lack of
analysis on the measures
outlined in his financial
statement is thought to have
contributed to the turmoil in the
markets in the past week./

Sounds more like Truss appointed a gambling maverick as Chancellor, not an economics graduate from Oxford.

Oh blimey! https://news.sky.com/story/mini-budget-do-the-sums-add-up-after-chancellor-kwasi-kwarteng-gives-only-half-the-story-12708161

/In a damaging revelation, the OBR
has confirmed that it provided the first draft of a forecast to Mr
Kwarteng on his first day, 6 September, and said it had time to produce a fuller document in
time for his announcement, an
offer he rejected.
That now looks at best a failed gamble and at worst hubristic
and reckless./

Like watching a clown running through a minefield.

So you're concluding that because I wrote 'I'm not sure whether Sky's sources are barking up the right tree' that does not make me a fan of the BBC or Sky? Wow, that's a leap, even for you.
