a book on these days is the Budget. So here, un- sullied by thoughts of immoral gain, is my rash guess for Tuesday. Taxes will go up by £165 million. There will be 3d. on the income tax, a substantial increase in the road fund licence, and a high rate of corporation tax. Sterling will strengthen, the stock market will perk up, and there won't be another crisis until the autumn. And don't blame me if none of this happens.
