The Unforeseen Financial Risk
In the podcast, it is revealed that the Prime Minister and her Chancellor were blindsided by a significant financial risk related to forced sales of government bonds. They were unaware of the lurking crisis until after a mini-budget, which led to a financial turmoil within the government. The Bank of England and Treasury officials failed to alert them about this risk, resulting in a lack of preemptive measures to address the situation before it escalated.
