Pre-emptively liveblogging the Budget

I though it would be interesting to liveblog the Budget speech as it happens, but then I realised I’m going to be busy while it’s on.

So I’ve done it in advance.

12.30: The Chancellor takes the dispatch box, to assorted braying from the government and opposition benches. He begins his speech.

What? Oh, he sits down, to more assorted braying from the government and opposition benches. It’s something past one, I think. Sorry, I must have dozed off there.
