The Chancellor wants a 'new age' of economic optimism, but the public have immediate challenges.
Taking the pre-Budget temperature of families visiting a pumpkin patch at Tulley's farm in Sussex, I was struck by just how concerned the public is with regards to rising prices and availability issues.
With this rebound has come supply and worker shortages, lingering high inflation, and the prospect of interest rate rises. Efforts to increase wages have also avoided major spending commitments. Raising the National Living Wage is mainly a burden on private sector employers and currently it is unclear just how generous, and therefore how costly, public sector pay will be when the freeze is lifted.
