The Guardian reported that John Healey will present his first budget on Wednesday, an event the newspaper said will set the tone for the premiership of Andy Burnham. In a preview by Phillip Inman, The Guardian's preview of the budget said struggling households, new homebuyers and small shops stand to gain, while banks and online marketplaces could face higher levies.
According to the same Guardian preview, the chancellor promised in the summer that the tax and spending event would not be "beset by the leaks" that preceded those of his predecessor. The summary does not say whether any leaks have occurred since that promise.
BBC News also published a video, titled What to expect of this year's Budget, in which its political correspondent Harry Farley explains what to expect ahead of Healey's first Budget, according to the item's summary. The BBC video is a preview, and its summary does not describe specific measures, so the two reports differ in detail: the Guardian names groups expected to gain or pay, while the BBC summary offers only a general overview. The BBC item carried no byline in the material available.
This report relies on the opening portion of the Guardian article, as the summary provided is truncated, so the amounts and mechanisms of any proposed measures are not described here.
