The Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) caused a crisis on Wednesday by revealing all the confidential elements of the budget some 45 minutes before the chancellor Rachel Reeves, spoke in the House of Commons. So any dramatic - white rabbit moments were lost in this major faux pas. Will heads roll at the OBR? Richard Hughes, the director - has offered a fulsome apology to the chancellor and has instigated an investigation. In the past the budget was considered a major event in the calendar of any government, but now there are so many pre-budget leaks, either intentionally or by mistake - the dramatic event has been completely lost. So another major - cock up at the Palace of Varieties.
