It’s March which means #CALeg policy and budget committee hearings are coming fast and furious! This is a MAJOR part of the legislative process. You do not want to miss an opportunity to participate in hearings on policy bills or budget proposals that might impact your community. Even if it’s giving one minute of public comment or submitting your comments online, being a part of the conversation from the beginning is critical. Missing the train only to try to stop or change it later often will get you peanuts. Make sure to review the Senate and Assembly Daily Files (links below) on the daily 😉 and use every opportunity to insert yourself in the process.

After 3 months of almost constant speculation, tomorrow we’ll know the contents of the Conservative’s last budget in this Parliament. As with every budget, how it lands in the days after, and what it means in practice are what really determines its political success. Will it be enough to prompt a May election, or will the dire state of the polls leave the PM no alternative but to hang on til the autumn? If you’d like to hear the debate and post budget analysis from some of the best placed commentators, pollster and politicians register 👇 for the MHP Group Budget Briefing. First thing Thursday morning.

Budget Sometimes following a General Election, we have seen an ‘Emergency Budget’. In 2010 when the Conservatives and Lib Dems formed a Coalition Government, the first Budget came in June – just a month after the election was held. But in 2020, the first Budget came around three months after the Tories had secured victory with a significant majority. When should we expect the next major fiscal event this time around? There’s a good chance there will be a gap of a few months following the 4 July before the Budget is held. That is a likelihood because of the ramifications of the infamous ‘Mini Budget’ from Liz Truss in 2022 that sent shockwaves through the economy and ultimately led to her severely shortened reign as Prime Minister. On that occasion, the Chancellor did not wait for the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR’s) assessment of the economic impact of policy announcements – and that was later highlighted as a reason for the fall out. So, assuming the next Government holds off for the OBR, that will mean around a 10-week wait, giving it the necessary time to produce its report. So, we could be look at around 10 – 17 September. #BudgetForecast #FiscalEvent #EmergencyBudget #EconomicImpact #OBRAssessment #GovernmentPolicy #FiscalReport #ChancellorAnnouncement #EconomicOutlook #FiscalPolicy

Today the UK government delivered its #SpringBudget to Parliament. The Budget is the main fiscal event of the year, where the Chancellor presents the Government’s plans for the economy, including #taxation and spending. This year’s Budget was significant as it presents one of the last opportunities for the Conservative Party to win over voters ahead of the UK General Election later this year. Our Public Affairs team watched live and have rounded up these key points. If you have questions or would like a sector-by-sector analysis, please comment below. #UKBudget

Opinion: It’s said you can tell a government’s true priorities from what it does in its budget. If so, the top priority of Anthony Albanese’s government is not to have any priorities. Rather than focusing on fixing the most pressing of our many problems, his preference is to be seen doing a little to alleviate all of them. In this budget, (almost) every voter wins a prize. Unfortunately, it’s a strategy that works better politically – where every vote counts – than economically, where sticking to what you’re good at brings better returns.
