Description

The Chancellor breaks the norm by making a speech in Downing Street 22 days ahead of the budget – with everyone closely watching for what exactly she says on tax rises. 

Sam and Anne consider why Rachel Reeves is doing it now and how budget preparations have changed since Liz Truss’ days. 

We’re not expecting new policy from the Treasury, more an event which tries to prepare voters for tax changes. 

Elsewhere in Westminster, Conservative leader – Kemi Badenoch – is out and about attacking the government’s spending on the welfare bill. 

Plus, we have our weekly check-in on the state of the polls.
