And as far as the OBR is concerned, this demonstrates perfectly how these processes are designed to delay. Starmer himself argues that we cannot wait to put in place measures to tackle the cost of living crisis, then in the next breath, he says we must have an OBR assessment first, which will take weeks.
The only thing delaying a new PM is Conservative Party bureaucracy. This whole matter should have been concluded in days not months. The Party needs to update its processes, this is 2022 not 1822!

Truss can do her budget in parallel to OBR scrutiny. Unlike the Conservative Party, the OBR can move swiftly in days not months.
