That went well...from The Guardian.
Members of OBR's budget responsibility committee leave Truss meeting after 48 minutes
The three members of the OBR’s budget responsibility committee who met the prime minister, Liz Truss, and the chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, have now left No 11 Downing Street.
PA Media reported that Richard Hughes, Andy King and Prof David Miles left the building at 10.33am – just 48 minutes after they entered.

30 point lead today as well.
And re the above sarcastic tweet, yes it always *was* going to take something pretty major to achieve this.
That's where having a horribly skewed political and (especially) media ecosystem gets you,

Here's the poll that was mentioned last night.
According to the Telegraph it was done for GB News
Edited because I had difficulty spelling 'was'.

Re: Friday 30th September 2022
Will they really go for the biggest cut in benefits ever seen while giving tax cuts to millionaires? I think we all know the answer to that.
Failure to raise benefits would be ‘hostile and harmful’, Truss is warned

Liz Truss will deliver the biggest permanent real-terms cut to the basic rate of benefits ever made if she fails to raise them in line with inflation, one of the UK’s leading poverty charities has said.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) urged the government not to renege on its promise, made earlier this year, to raise universal credit and other working age benefits in line with inflation. It said such a move would be a “harmful act of historic proportions” – and deliver a devastating blow to millions of families on low incomes.
Citizens Advice said more than half the people who come to their offices for help are already in a negative budget, meaning they have less money coming in than they need for everyday basics.
“If benefits don’t keep up with living costs, this real-terms cut will be worse than every year of the benefits freeze combined. The devastating trends we’re seeing in people needing our support will go through the roof,” said Morgan Wild, Citizens Advice’s head of policy.

Tories convinced (enough of) us that a global crisis was the result of govt mismanagement and now think they can convince us that the current crisis is global and not the result of govt mismanagement.
The only consistency is that they're lying both times.
