Budget did little to diffuse ticking time bomb for local councils
Thursday, 7 March 2024 All my bandwidth this week has been given over to the spring budget, the moment of the year when Chancellor Jeremy Hunt tells us his plans for the economy - how he's going to cut our taxes, or increase and set out where he's going to spend some of our money.
Jeremy Hunt has accused Labour of lying over the "£22bn" budget black hole it claims to have inherited. The shadow chancellor, who was speaking at the Conservative conference in Birmingham, claimed the £22 billion “black hole” could turn out to be a £39 billion surplus. Report by Kennedyl.
