Big News Alert: The results of an investigation into last week’s shocking Budget leak are set to be released on Monday! The Budget details were accidentally unveiled nearly an hour early due to a mix-up on the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) website. Oops! 😳 The OBR quickly apologised and launched an inquiry, bringing in former National Cyber Security Centre director, Professor Ciaran Martin, for his expertise. Thankfully, there’s no evidence of any cyber attack.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves spoke on Sunday, expecting the report by Monday. She acknowledged the breach was serious but chose not to speculate on possible resignations, maintaining respect for OBR Chairman Richard Hughes. Understandably, Hughes was “mortified” by what happened and mentioned he’d step aside if trust was lost.
