今日简报：First Edition读者和为生活成本苦苦挣扎的人们告诉我们，政府可以做些什么来改善他们的生活。早上好。别指望会有什么激进举措。财政部一直竭力向我们强调，这将是一个非常“低调”的预算案。在记者们数周的猜测、智库发布的一系列新闻稿，以及一次必须拍摄的红公文包照片之后，财政大臣约翰·希利将于今天中午12点30分在下议院宣布伯纳姆政府首个预算案的细节。
In today’s newsletter: First Edition readers and people struggling with the cost of living tell us what the government could do to improve their lives Good morning. Don’t expect anything radical. This, the Treasury has been at pains to tell us, will be a very “low-key” budget. After weeks of speculation from journalists, a flurry of press releases from thinktanks, and a photoshoot with an obligatory red box, the chancellor, John Healey, will announce the details of the Burnham government’s first budget in the Commons today at 12:30pm.
希利一直将此推销为一系列旨在减轻低收入和中等收入家庭压力的措施，口号是“今天喘息，未来有希望”，但这个标语已被生硬地拼凑起来。许多提案已经事先泄露，其温和程度显示出他政府面临的限制——既有客观限制，也有自我设限。他拒绝了提高资本利得税或降低豪宅税的呼吁，并承诺遵守工党的财政规则，而伊朗战争则推高了借贷成本，削弱了他的支出能力。
Healey has been selling this as a series of measures designed to relieve pressure on low- and middle-income households under the mangled tagline of “breathing space for today, fresh hope for the future”. Many of the proposals have already been briefed, and their modesty is a sign of the constraints – both real and self-imposed – that his government faces. He has rejected calls to raise capital gains tax or lower the mansion tax and has promised to stick to Labour’s fiscal rules, while the Iran war has increased the cost of borrowing and eroded his spending power.
