So, as you know, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, has been off to China.
Now, to be fair, this was not a last minute panicked trip, it was booked some time ago.
Although I have little doubt she would have urged the Chinese, please, please, please buy government bonds, because our ten and 30 year yields that mean interest rates have been going up and up and up over the course of the last few weeks.
That at the same time as inflation is going up, as growth is at best flatlining, and the pound is starting to tumble on the exchanges.
Nigel Farage says Rachel Reeves ‘wont last more than a few months’

I have to say, I thought her speech today, I’m not even going to show you any of it, frankly, was a nothingness.
I believe she’s completely and utterly out of her depth.
And when she says that growth is the number one mission of this government, well, you know what? Increasing the size of the public sector, whilst at the same time doing things that reduce the size of the private sector is not, in my opinion, a recipe for growth.
She looks tired. Well, that’s fair enough, it’s not easy being a cabinet minister.
But somehow you just get the feeling, I get the feeling, she won’t last more than a few months.
I wonder whether you agree at home, will Reeves survive?
