An official spokesperson for No. 10 rejected the suggestion that Rishi Sunak is the driving force behind Wednesday’s upcoming Budget.
When asked if Rishi Sunak sees the Chancellor as timid and lacking imagination, the spokesman said “absolutely not”.
“The Chancellor is working very closely with the Prime Minister to deliver our plan for the economy and obviously the Chancellor will be setting out further measures in line with that on Wednesday at the Budget,” said the spokesman.
These statements come after a photo of the Prime Minister closely studying the Chancellor’s laptop surfaced.
