There is a mixed bag of stories leading Wednesday’s papers, although most of the front pages make mention of the Budget. The Times reports that Chancellor Rishi Sunak is expected to use up to £30bn from the proceeds of economic growth to invest in services and reduce borrowing when he unveils his Budget on Wednesday. It says that the “sharp rebound” from last winter’s Covid lockdown has led to the economy growing at a faster than expected rate, giving the chancellor between £20bn and £30bn to spend.
