"To top it all off, we've now got the lunatics running the asylum. If I could have a minute with the PM and chancellor, I'd very gently and calmly ask them to put the keys to No 10 and 11 on the table and ask them to hand them over to the nearest adult."
Similarly, Samuel Mather-Holgate of Swindon-based advisory firm, Mather & Murray Financial, said it seems to be just one thing after another.
However, he said he was pleased that the fiscal statement has been brought forward to October 31, from its original late November date, because it means the Office for Budget Responsibility should be able to release their forecast.
Mather-Holgate added: "A U-turn on the additional tax rate isn't going to be enough to satisfy the markets that the Tories are still fiscally responsible.
"There needs to be more give in the fiscal statement that will be realised on Halloween, of all days.
"If there is some movement, hopefully the Bank of England's decision on interest rates three days later, won't need to be so frightening.”
