Who with a blank canvas would invent the Budget? This strange piece of political theatre basically involves the Chancellor of the day packaging up a series of micro-managing pieces of tax-fiddling into some form of narrative for the Government.

And with Pre-Budget reports, pre-election Budgets and last week's 'emergency' Budget, it seems some form of budget is becoming almost a seasonal occurrence. Yet even for the cynical, the first Budget of a new administration is one of the rare occasions in which the process carries real policy significance.
