British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves is set to present her second Budget on Wednesday, in which she must find billions in extra revenue as the country faces weak growth and high borrowing costs.

Analysts warn that any misstep could trigger higher borrowing costs, hit taxpayers, or damage Labour’s political prospects, making this one of the most consequential Budgets in recent memory.
