Why

The baseline chance that a borrowing figure reported a month earlier is included in the formal budget statement is high—historically around 70‑80 % for UK budgets. Recent news (Guardian Oct 21) explicitly notes the £24.5 bn borrowing figure as a key number John Healey is preparing to present, and the BBC and other outlets stress that this data will shape the upcoming budget.
