英国首相Andy Burnham在与保守党领袖Kemi Badenoch的议会首次交锋中，将英国经济面临的市场压力归咎于前任政府的政策遗留1。英国政府借贷成本持续攀升，10年期债券收益率在本周三创下2008年6月以来的高位1。Badenoch指出，当前债券收益率远超Liz Truss执政时期的任何时候1。
Burnham为政府辩护，声称"我们在G7中增长最快。借贷降至6年来最低水平。我们比任何其他G7国家削减赤字更快"1。他强调政府已为夏季政策承诺获得资金保障，并承诺在即将到来的预算中坚持财政纪律1。然而，经济学家Jim O'Neill批评首相的声明在当前背景下"是投资者最不想听到的"1。财政大臣John Healey面临借贷成本上升带来的财政空间压力1，而Badenoch则质疑政府是否会在秋季预算中增加税收1。
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has accused the Conservative Party's political record of leaving the British economy exposed to market volatility, in his first parliamentary clash with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch.1 The exchange took place as the UK's borrowing costs continued to climb, with 10-year government bonds reaching their highest level since June 2008 following a four-basis-point jump on Wednesday morning, constraining the fiscal room available to Chancellor John Healey ahead of the autumn budget.1
During a three-hour parliamentary statement, Burnham defended his government's economic performance and its commitment to fiscal discipline.1 He asserted that "we are growing fastest in the G7, borrowing has fallen to a six-year low, and we are cutting the deficit faster than any other G7 country."1 Burnham also stated that the summer commitments his administration made have been fully funded and that the government will maintain fiscal discipline in the upcoming budget.1 Badenoch challenged his position by pointing out that "current bond yields are far higher than at any point during Liz Truss's time," questioning whether the prime minister would raise taxes in the October budget.1
Economist Jim O'Neill commented that the prime minister's statement represented "precisely what investors do not want to hear in the current context."1
