I used to enjoy budget day. It was on a Tuesday and it would be a little piece of political drama that could be followed on the radio.
Now, there’s too much news, the drama has gone because a journalist who can’t keep secrets has tittle tattled on Twitter and it’s on Wednesday.
I am concerned about where Matt Hancock is going to go when Rishi Sunak has to use his little red box. I imagine him sitting inside, feeling quite sick as Rishi swings it around, happily, announcing an extension to the furlough scheme until 2939, More Eat Out to Help Out, a new ‘Shop until you drop’ scheme and an announcement that the arts will be fine (probably). The chancellor might give it an extra hard swing, as he warns that all this spending will have to be paid back, as he gleefully looks at the opposition bench, so they know he has left them a stick the conservatives can beat them with, causing tiny Matt to vomit over the papers that are left.
