This cover of London's Evening Standard newspaper just hit the internet. And it appears to have a lot of budget details that are supposed to be unveiled soon.
It says that borrowing is going to "soar". Growth forecast is slashed. A beer tax will be eliminated.
Other points that we can make out in the blurriness:
- A planned gas tax will be scrapped.
- A triple dip is expected to be avoided.
- Borrowing will be 61.5 billion pound higher than planned over 3 years.
- Government will cut bureaucratic spending to facilitate more capital spending.
