"Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak is preparing his Autumn budget that will be presented to Parliament next week.
He is trying to begin balancing the books but is also facing calls to continue spending. He is receiving requests for funds almost daily from colleagues who believe that the urge to splurge should continue.
When he was doling out support at the height of the pandemic, he was just six months into the job and was fast becoming the darling of his Party.
Now, things have changed almost completely. Far from providing free handouts, he is trying to rein in profligate Ministers.
Sunak sees his role as creating a sustainable path that allows the Government to continue Boris Johnson’s levelling up agenda, while also looking for opportunities to save funds. Every Department is being tasked with contributing to the pot by making savings and efficiencies totalling 5% of their total budget.
