Original Note:
Truss says the Bank of England announced a gilt sale the day before the mini-budget implying this was responsible. However, the Bank of England had already announced this sale to the markets twice before, once on the 04 August 2022 and again on the 01 September 2022. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/markets/market-notices/2022/august/asset-purchase-facility-gilt-sales-provisional-market-notice-4-august-2022 https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/markets/market-notices/2022/september/apf-gilt-sales-market-notice-1-september-2022
