AMA: Will Hazel, Chief Political Correspondent, The i Paper: Questions following today's Budget [Wednesday 28th October, 1:30pm]
Hello r/ukpolitics.
Will Hazel, the Chief Political Correspondent at The i, will be joining us for an AMA directly after today's Budget speech.

Some words from Will:
Hello, I'm Will Hazell and I'm the Chief Political Correspondent for The i Paper, having previously been Whitehall Correspondent and also Education Correspondent.
I work to make sense of some of the biggest political stories in order to deliver clear analysis for our readers and subscribers.
Following John Healey's Budget later today, I will be answering all your questions on what the Budget changes really mean, the political ramifications for this new government - and how they might affect you.
You can read my reporting here: https://inews.co.uk/author/will-hazell
Ask me anything!
Note: The thread will remain locked until John Healey starts delivering his statement, at which point you can ask your questions. Will will be answering your questions at around 1:30pm.
