Budget Day at the Council, and the Tory front bench are excitedly reading the 'Royal Boris' Council newspaper as their manservants press their suits and they wait for their speeches and presentation coaches to arrive.
Meanwhile the Labour Group are anxiously and eagerly preparing themselves for all the thoughtful, erudite and challenging points that might arise.
They are particularly eager to see who will win this year’s coveted award for most ‘challenging’ Budget speech.
