As the Chancellor rises to unveil tax hikes, stealth cuts, and the latest fiscal yoga pose designed to look generous while costing less than a Pret sandwich — the BBC’s cameras swivel hard… to little Nigel Fargo’s old school in Essex and a weather-worn Union Jack flapping beside the REFORM party’s latest “moment.”
