Yes, I agree with this, it's been very odd indeed. Why did they fly so many kites and brief for so long before the budget? And why was she set on raising income tax, even tho the OBR had upgraded the forecast? And why the speech (which apparently caused gilts to fall), and then the retraction? And then why the business about mansplaining and misogyny in the Treasury? It's been totally baffling, esp when you consider that, in the end, the budget was quite unremarkable. But I do see that, if Reeves had revealed that the forecast wasn't so bad, but that she wanted to keep enough headroom anyway, it would have gone down like a bag of sick with the media. She was damned either way. All this briefing and flip-flopping has just slowed the markets and probably spurred people on to move savings and pensions, hold off on selling their house / buying etc. -

and as has been pointed out on another thread, the 'news' has become a matter of (subjective) opinion rather than fact. -
No the leaks came after the apocalyptic of some on here - the whole leak/non leak and obr problem aren’t great - but ultimately a wash and not that relevant. journalists should be analysing what the budget did and didn’t do but as per everything since 2016 is just personal psychodrama and college-boy sniggering -

Oh well. At least an increasingly aged population will be happy in their £2M family homes.
