The Guardian will host a reader Q&A on Chancellor John Healey’s 2026 budget Thursday, inviting questions about its effects on households and the country’s preparation for the challenges ahead.
The Guardian said the session is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET (3 p.m. GMT) Thursday, Oct. 29. Money and consumer editor Hilary Osborne and economics editor Heather Stewart will take questions.
Readers can ask about the budget’s impact on households and the wider country, including whether it does enough to meet coming challenges, the newspaper said. Questions can be posted in the comments after readers sign up or sign in.
