#AceNewsDesk – Kwarteng accused of gambling with UK economy by devolved nations according to Independent News by Sravasti Dasgupta

Devolved government leaders have demanded an urgent meeting with chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng over his “disastrous” mini-Budget and fears of a new age of austerity.

The finance ministers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland warned that the Liz Truss government’s “huge gamble” on borrowing-fuelled tax cuts will mean a decade of spending cuts.

In a joint letter they shared their alarm over reports that all government departments would be asked to make cuts – pointing out that devolved budget settlements have already been diminished by inflation.

It comes as prime minister Liz Truss has said that her economic plan involves “disruption in the short term” as the Welsh secretary said “rigorous” spending cuts are imminent.

Her comments come as the S&P ratings on the UK changed their outlook from stable to negative on Friday.

Writing in The Sun, Ms Truss admitted that “not everyone will like what we are doing” but “we need to get things done in this country more quickly”.

As Black History Month begins, the president of the National Education Union (NEU) has questioned why the government needs two years to commit to making the curriculum more inclusive.

Currently, Black history doesn’t feature in the national curriculum, meaning it is not compulsory to be taught in UK schools – something that campaigners and teachers have been lobbying to change for a number of years.

Mr Lynch said that he had spoken with new Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan, who seemed “very pleasant,” but added what was needed was a change of attitude at the negotiating table.

He added: “Grant Shapps was not allowing a compromise, so I hope there’s a change of mood and a change of stance.”
