Labour Gains Support from Investors as Conservatives Struggle to Rebuild Economic Reputation after Mini-Budget Chaos

Investors have thrown their weight behind Labour in a blow to Rishi Sunak’s attempts to repair the Conservatives' reputation for sound money.
Former Bank of England governor Mark Carney accused Liz Truss of turning Britain into “Argentina on the Channel” with her mini-Budget.
Carney said "extreme Conservatives" use tax and spending cuts as a “Pavlovian reaction to every problem”.
The survey suggests City money managers side with Carney and are still wary of the Conservatives' economic record.
Labour's efforts to woo business/finance seem to be working as they've promised not to introduce a wealth tax or heavily increase spending.
