The British budget was presented by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves on October 30th. Reeves had the opportunity to implement significant reforms and address public service issues due to a strong Parliamentary majority and a clear mandate.

However, the budget lacked ambitious vision despite impressive financial figures. Steps were taken to address underinvestment in public services and unrealistic fiscal projections, but the overall approach has been criticized for missing the chance to enact transformative changes.

Many question whether the budget will effectively tackle the long-standing issues facing the UK economy.
