BBC Breakfast took a brief pause on Sunday morning for a 'significant' update

BBC Breakfast was briefly halted for a 'significant' update about the forthcoming budget during Sunday morning's programme (November 23).

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to present the much-anticipated Autumn Budget on Wednesday, which might include manifesto-breaking tax hikes.

The Chancellor has previously promised that the new budget will "deliver on the priorities of the British people" by reducing NHS waiting lists, the national debt and the cost of living.

Although she has reportedly decided against raising income tax rates, there are rumours that she could announce an extended freeze on income tax and National Insurance thresholds, meaning more people would pay it as wages increase over time.
