Zelensky was eventually told to leave the White House early before he and Trump could even take the stage for a scheduled news conference.

The narrative inside government is that this is a “corrective” moment – essentially, cleaning up the damage done to the public finances by the pandemic, the energy shock, and what Labour would claim were damaging Tory decisions and “covering up” how bad things were in the run up to the summer’s General Election.As you’d expect, Conservatives would argue that the economy had started to turn for the better before they lost - but the independent OBR has said the extent of the problems had been masked.

A "corrective" certainly sounds like something painful. Sources point to two previous Budgets after big moments of economic peril - the Norman Lamont Budget of 1993 after the disaster of Black Wednesday and George Osborne's 2010 emergency budget after the turmoil of the financial crisis. Both of those Budgets were notable for tax rises. This one won’t be different.Those "corrections", along with any big cheques that are written for health, schools or housing, will form the basis of Labour’s narrative.The message they want the public to hear is clear: things went badly wrong, and it's not going to be easy or cheap to fix them.

"Investment not decline... stability and an end to chaos." One of her allies told me the Budget would be "political, political, political", choosing every opportunity to highlight the differences in her approach to the many Tory chancellors in her place before.

That will be Reeves' argument – but how it lands with the party and public matters so much.Mr Smith added the shop allows locals who are unable to travel to get groceries and daily staples.

"The shop sells groceries, birthday cards and gifts, second-hand books, jigsaws, bread and fresh fruit - the sort of things that a small community needs to have available to it," he said.Shares in the scheme can be bought in the village shop at £1 per share, with 25 shares being the minimum purchase. They can also be bought via email.

Everyone who purchases shares then become a member of the community benefit society.The feasibility of having "some form" of vehicle access at a town's level crossing has been discussed by rail and council bosses.
