A powerful group of cross-party MPs has demanded the chancellor release a full economic forecast by the end of October - a month earlier than planned.

The Treasury Select Committee, made up of MPs from all parties and chaired by a Conservative MP, has written to Kwasi Kwarteng to call for a full economic forecast from the independent Office for Budget Responsibility to be released by the end of October.

Mr Kwarteng had said it would be released on 23 November, when he is due to give his full budget statement. But after last Friday's mini-budget caused economic turmoil for the UK, the committee discovered the chancellor will be getting an initial OBR forecast on 7 October.And they have asked him to publish"without delay" the initial economic and fiscal forecast the OBR provided to him when he started the job a few weeks ago.

'Don't worry guys, i know our plans collapsed the economy, sent the markets spiralling and put us on course for electoral oblivion but it's fully costed and makes perfect sense' 'Can we see the data now then?' '.... No'

Same shit just different tories. ToriesOutNow

Sorry, it’s it Boris where if enough people shout they’ll change their mind. They should stick to the plan.

'Powerful group' in what way? People can demand whatever they like, if Kwarteng or Truss refuse to speak to them, and/or carry out their demands, there's sod all they can do about it that would have any immediate affect.

Bookies are never wrong but I think truss will ride it out They are going to need some canned applause ready for next week's conference Those that bother to attend will only be kept awake by substantial amounts of stimulants! I hope Kwarteng doesn't find it though, he can't handle it.

MPs condemn ‘acute harm’ caused to prisoners by IPP sentencesThe IPP scheme has been described as 'the single greatest stain on our criminal justice system' by a former supreme court justice. Martin Read has been meeting some of those prisoners affected. Oh God love them, what about my human right to feel safe when I'm out or at home without being attacked, robbed etc! IPPs are a disgrace, inhumane, and need to be immediately abolished. This seem like a horrific miscarriage of justice, & I’m glad you broadcast this report. An indefinite sentence seems grossly out of proportion for almost any offence, & it’s not like these ppl are doing time for mass murder/genocide/war crimes/etc. Human rights are important.

Chancellor will be vindicated over mini-budget, say county's Tory MPsOne has called the measures a 'very courageous, bold and innovative programme' that will 'avoid a long and deep recession'. Very courageous, bold and innovative to crash the £, sky rocket guilt yields (and mortgage rates), attract criticism of the IMF and ratings agencies, downgraded economic forecasts and lower pension pots, but Daniel is always right so that’s me reassured 😂😂😂😂😂
