I don't know what the chancellor is going to say but I would be interested to hear what he's got planned for the £billions we're not paying to the EU anymore.
It seems to me that things are going to get so bad that we are all going to hit the bottle, but good news it's not going to cost as much. And as we wont be able to afford to go anywhere due to the cost of petrol cheers

Don't think that's quite true. Local councils collect Council Tax and Business rates, but a fair bit of what they collect goes to central fund.Sneaky one on business rates.
Reduce them to help businesses, which I sort of understand.
But reducing business rates means the local council loses the money, not central govt.
So who takes the flack when the inevitable happens.
At least do it through central govt budgets.
Yup, that's the result of spending during the pandemic - we will all have less money having spent it during the last 2 years.Half goes to Central govt to a fund which is then distributed back to local govt.
It doesn't necessarily go back to the council which collected it - its the sneaky mechanism central govt use to fund local councils.
So if the pot is smaller as central govt reduced business rates then the amount being redistributed is also smaller.
Lose - lose!
I am pretty sure you have been warned about introducing facts on this forum before…..Don't think that's quite true. Local councils collect Council Tax and Business rates, but a fair bit of what they collect goes to central fund.
