I don't find it quite as unreasonable to lay fault at his door. They're a small organisation of about 50 ppl. Couldn't you say it is his responsibility to make sure a more junior member of staff can't accidentally publish the Budget early?

Hello everybody. I have just joined Bluesky, after witnessing the deterioration of Twitter/X. I will post some of my recent material from there and I plan to migrate to this platform over time.

For those who like the idea of giving to orgs that do free advice and consumer advocacy, there are some great orgs you can support right now. Donate to Citizens Advice. Or buy a Which? membership. Loads of other consumer charities who'd love some £ to make their research more impactful too!
