Why has Rachel Reeves ripped up her first draft of the Autumn Budget? Political backlash or changing forecasts?

Here’s @peston.bsky.social's take👇

We’ll be back to discuss this and more on Wednesday!

#Peston
A graphic with a quote from Robert Peston regarding the Chancellor's upcoming budget. The quote reads: "Her planned tax increases will have less predictable income streams and will be more complicated than a simple increase in the basic rate of income tax... But they are certainly way less politically explosive than announcing the first increase in the basic rate of income tax for 50 years."

In an exclusive interview on last night’s show, former Chancellor Lord Clarke discussed why he thinks Rachel Reeves will have to break “stupid” Labour manifesto promises and hike taxes.

Text: If you're Chancellor, yes, you shouldn't put stupid things in your manifesto. You should have spotted it if you were Shadow Chancellor and told them not to pur stupid stuff in it, but she probably never read it." - Lord Clarke. Photo of Lord Clarke.

Quote graphic with a photo of Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the text: "As Chancellor, I could do what previous governments have done, which is to sweep those challenges under the carpet... But then we’d be back here in a year, in five years’ time, with productivity still on its knees, growth under-performing… national debt continuing to rise. So I’m being honest with people" Watch Peston online on Wednesday 12th November at 9PM and on ITV1 at 1045PM
