  2. From The Times of London:
    "Labour has surged to a 33-point poll lead [54 to 21] over the Conservatives after a week of market turmoil triggered by Liz Truss’s tax-cutting budget.

    The YouGov poll for The Times finds Tory support has fallen by seven points in the past four days amid fears the government’s plans will lead to spiralling interest rate rises."
