So, we had the mini-budget.
Now, the mini un-budget.
In a fortnight, there will be the fiscal statement.

That is how it always used to be.  Budget in March to set the strategy and big-ticket stuff and Autumn Statement around now to tweak.
There was sometimes criticism of that as tax changes announced in March and effective from April did not allow businesses much time to respond, or to put systems in place to administer.

Of late, after a few false-starts, the system seemed to change to Budget setting the strategy around now and Spring Statement to tweak.

Have we reverted to Budget in March and Autumn Statement?

Of course, this year, we are getting an autumn statement every time another apple falls...

And probably another mini budget before that from the new PM that replaces Truss!
