New chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng had plenty to say about his mini budget on Friday as he unveiled the biggest tax cuts for 50 years, and was even more bullish doing the media rounds on Sunday.

But come Monday, after the pound had fallen to a record low against the dollar and another long queue had formed in London – this time of people waiting to tell him how wrong he’d got it – he wasn’t quite so chipper.
