The chancellor’s spring statement, due later this month, was supposed to be a quiet affair. Little more than a routine response to updated forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). Nothing to write home about. But times have changed. The economy has stalled since the last budget, we may be in the early stages of a destructive tariff war with the US, and defence spending is set to rocket in response to the growing security threat from Russian aggression and Trumpian isolationism.
