Sky News’ Sam Coates writes that “active” discussions are under way in Downing Street over whether to scrap parts of the mini-budget.
This is despite the fact that Downing Street has just promised there will not be any more U-turns on the government’s mini-budget.
There is “a conversation going on inside government” about “whether or not to junk some of the measures from the mini-budget”, according to Coates.
Downing Street denying any changes to mini budget but I’m told by sources discusssions underway over which bits might yet be junked give the scale of the concern
