UK Chancellor Healey faces internal unease over budget amid bond sell-off and energy costs

Senior Labour figures privately question Chancellor John Healey's approach to his first budget, citing a lack of clarity that could trigger a fresh market shock. The budget is complicated by a global bond sell-off raising UK borrowing costs and soaring energy prices linked to US-Iran conflict. The core claim is based on unnamed insiders, so the extent of unease and its impact on policy remains uncertain.
