UK PRESS: From Alex Wickham at Buzzfeed News: 
- "Govt getting a pasting from both wings of its own backbenches this morning
- Greg Clark [former business sec] says financial package is not enough, action
must be taken immediately on wages, says state should pay them
- Iain Duncan Smith [former Con leader] says benefits must be raised today and
waiting times reduced
- Now Bernard Jenkin piles in. Says Rishi Sunak's package from Tuesday is
"simply not going to be enough". Says Tory "diehards are lining up for far more
radical measures... the govt must take note". Urges the government "to say
something today" to reassure people"
- Duncan Smith and Jenkin are some of the most hawkish, 'small-c' fiscal
conservatives in the Conservative Party, if they are calling for drastic action
then there is no real opposition to major gov't spending increases.
