Today's the big day when Alastair Darling announces his Pre-Budget Report, which is actually a mini-budget. It's a big job: claw money back from the fatcats, cut back public services and still persuade everyone to vote Labour in 5 months' time.
Follow the fun here.
Meanwhile over in Ireland, which is even more screwed through having 2 Tory parties vying to be the most capitalist, a second emergency budget is announced today (follow it here from 3.45 GMT). Just like the UK, ordinary workers are going to suffer because all the money's gone to bail out the banks which have bankrupted the country. Can anyone else see what's wrong with this picture?
