According to the Sunday Times, Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng attended a drinks event – where hedge fund managers were in attendance – just hours after delivering his mini-budget. The paper says the chancellor gave guests insights about planned spending cuts, raising questions about his political judgement. But the lead story for the paper focuses on Liz Truss’s reported advice to King Charles III not to attend November’s COP27 climate change conference, where he was due to deliver a speech. Ms Truss objected to the King’s plans during an audience at Buckingham Palace last month – a move likely to fuel tensions between the new PM and new monarch, the paper comments.
