With the budget now barely a week away, the rumour mill is in absolute overdrive.
Speculation is rife about what may or may not be in the Chancellor’s red box and it seems that everyone has an opinion. Even my barber this morning wanted to chew the fat on the budget (and he didn’t even know I work in finance).
In recent days, we have heard reports of people taking increasingly extreme action to try to preempt what they think will be announced on the 30th October. This as a strategy is fraught with difficulty.
