Chancellor promises 'relentlessly upbeat' economic plan as Tories warn him not to burden the poorest

Kwasi Kwarteng has promised his upcoming economic plan will be "relentlessly upbeat" as some of his own MPs seemed doubtful of his direction.

Speaking in the Commons for the first time since unveiling his mini-budget, the chancellor would not reveal more detail of his next financial announcement, set for Halloween.

But he promised it would include "an absolute iron commitment to fiscal responsibility", with accompanying forecasts from the Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR).
