UK borrowing lower than expected; Healey pledges buffer against uncertainty
The UK government borrowed less than forecast, giving Chancellor Rachel Reeves some fiscal leeway. Reeves, likely referring to Healey (Rachel Reeves, not Healey; but the original says Healey—perhaps a typo? Actually Rachel Reeves is Chancellor; Healey might be a mistake. I'll assume it's Reeves) vowed to build a "buffer against uncertainty" in the face of global economic risks. This provides modest relief amid concerns over public finances and potential future spending cuts or tax changes.
