There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen, but it just so happens that this week we saw all of the economic crises of the past five decades in quick succession, after Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's don't-call-it-a-budget "fiscal event".
With the UK once again witnessing massive stagflation like the Oil Crisis (1973), a larger drop in the pound than Black Wednesday (1992), and with a Great Recession (2008) style housing crisis looming - Should Liz Truss do a U-turn, sack Chancellor Kwarteng, and put an end to this economic chaos?
To say that global financial markets have little faith in the new Tory top team would be something of an understatement, after the two free marketeers brought forward proposals for the biggest tax giveaway in a generation without a single economic forecast attached to it.
In fact, the market panic is so pronounced that the Prime Minister and Chancellor have been forced to meet with the forecasters at the Office for Budget Responsibility today to reassure markets - something no PM or Chancellor has ever done before.
While many Tory MPs have supposedly been calling for their "Kami-Kwasi" Chancellor to get the axe, the political ideology behind this low-tax trickledown budget is precisely what Truss campaigned on to win the votes of Tory members- So would axing Kwarteng even restore economic confidence?
Is there a route out of this for Truss? Or, would sacking Kwarteng be the final nail in the coffin of the Truss government? Have your say down below.
Are there any Tories who could replace Kwarteng as Chancellor? Who would you pick? Let us know down below.
