UK government bond yields surged to multi-decade highs today, and sterling slid sharply, as political uncertainty and fiscal concerns unsettled markets.

Markets  fear chancellor Rachel Reeves was being "managed out," recalling that yields spiked when her position was last seen as under threat in July.

The 30-year gilt yield jumped to 5.71%, its highest level in 27 years. Brokers said that investors were uneasy about the rising costs of servicing.

    • With the Labour bashing that often happens in the Lounge I thought it good to get some balance. You don't need to bash Labour as they are doing it themselves.  I expect you could say that the LibDems are taking the centre left.  Despite Polanksi's landslide I don't see him as uniting the country. So the question is why under Badenock, following on from Truss and Sunak, has the Tory party continued to lurch to the right?  The obvious answer is their membership, some see many of these as climate change deniers and xenophobic https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-68581917 Will going down the direction of Reform win them any votes?   What ever happened to one nation conservatism??
