The weekend has seen the sky full of kites being flown by various people involved (near or further away) with the process of finalising the Autumn Budget.
We're still around five weeks out so there's plenty of time for ideas & proposals (good & bad) to fly & sink back to the earth.
Frankly, I preferred it when the Chancellor & their team sat in a closed room, sorted it out according to their analyses & political commitments and then announced the budget on the day.
