What we heard on Wednesday was a delightful set piece charade for both our benefit and that of the media scrabbling for content for 24 hour news.
The Budget speech is not quite irrelevant, but the ‘Red Book’ is the key followed by the Finance Act, which of course is then going to be affected by the election – so we can just about ignore it all.
