What is 'the Budget'?
The Budget is a key moment in the UK political calendar, usually delivered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It outlines the government's plans for taxation and public spending for the coming year, often including new policies or changes to existing ones. Trussell's call for action aims to influence these financial decisions.
