IEA Head of Public Policy Matthew Lesh has been featured in The Daily Express arguing that the removal of Kwasi Kwarteng as Chancellor will not solve the core issues confronting the Prime Minister.
Commenting on the Chancellor’s sacking, Matthew said:
“The truth is, I do not think that throwing Kwasi under the bus is going to solve the underlying issues that, in fact, predate Truss, which is that the status quo is failing.
“We have high levels of inflation, rising interest rates and very stagnant growth. The question, now, for the Government is how they are going to respond to that, both in terms of trying to calm the markets when it comes to fiscal sustainability as well as ensuring that the backbenchers support whatever the next focus is in terms of the Government’s agenda.”
