'Totally unacceptable': Speaker launches tirade against chancellor after 'premature disclosure' of budget

Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has launched a tirade against Chancellor Rishi Sunak after the "premature disclosure" of his budget.

In a strongly-worded statement, Hoyle said he was "absolutely furious" that the details of the budget had been leaked to the media ahead of its official announcement.

He said that the leak was a "total disregard" for the House of Commons and its members, and that it had "undermined" the authority of the Speaker.

Hoyle said that he had spoken to Sunak about the leak and had demanded an explanation.

He said that he was "not satisfied" with Sunak's response and that he would be taking the matter further.

"This is a serious matter and I will not hesitate to take action to protect the integrity of the House of Commons," he said.

The leak of the budget has been met with widespread anger and criticism from MPs.

Conservative MP David Davis said that the leak was a "disgrace" and that it had "damaged the reputation of Parliament".

Labour MP John McDonnell said that the leak was a "contempt of Parliament" and that it had "devalued" the budget.

The leak has also been condemned by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), which said that it was "unprecedented" and that it had "undermined public confidence".

The IFS said that the leak had "damaged the credibility of the government" and that it had "made it more difficult for the government to get its message across".

The leak of the budget is a major embarrassment for Sunak and the government.

It is unclear how the leak happened, but it is likely that it was the result of a mistake by a government official.

The leak has damaged the reputation of the government and it has made it more difficult for Sunak to get his message across.
