What happened

Well supportedReported by 23 independent outlets

Andy Burnham succeeded Keir Starmer as Prime Minister and appointed John Healey as Chancellor.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The budget was introduced against a backdrop of economic uncertainty caused by the Iran war, which is squeezing global oil and gas supplies. Healey stated he would adhere to the fiscal rules established by Keir Starmer’s government, though some critics suggested the budget was intended to calm public concerns about deep-seated economic issues.
