Well this is the most chaotic run up to a budget ever. The OBR published their forecast based on the budget half an hour before Rachel Reeves stood up to give her speech!
This allowed Ed Davey to give his comeback to the budget tax hikes in PMQs before the budget speech even started!

🚨BREAKING🚨New figures reveal the true cost of Brexit.
It's time for Labour to stop being so timid and fix the damage done by the Conservatives' botched Brexit deal.
That is the best way to boost growth, put money in people's pockets and properly fund our public services.

📢 Today's Budget must be a turning point for Britain's economy. Families in South Cambridgeshire face soaring bills & small businesses are being squeezed. The Chancellor must cut VAT for hospitality, scrap the NI hike & make big banks pay their fair share. #Budget2025

Will this budget speech save Reeves's skin?
I have created balanced scorecard based on Resolution Foundation's recommendations
If Rachel Reeves scores 70 or more out of 100, she should survive until May

He also personally sanctioned Alexandre de Moraes-the judge overseeing this case-and his wife
Of course it didn’t work. Prices in the US increased instead
