because THE budget is a set time that sets out economic policy going forward

the mini budget was just them talking poo poo right after she got power

A full budget is also accompanied by a report from the OBR or maybe the treasury, I forget. There's some degree of oversight that they dodged by doing it this way

raising a corporate tax sounds nice but then you realize theres 500 million loopholes so they end up paying 0%

You've done well, kiddo.
Raising corporate tax is great actually because it encourages companies to reinvest more of their profits back into themselves which raises wages, morale, and R&D.

Although if you are only interested in treating workers like slaves and awarding yourself £5 mill bonuses twice a year I can see how it would sound bad to you.

I also wonder how much choice lettuce liz had in appointing hunt as chancellor. I get the feeling that she is basically just doing what she is told now and the tories are hoping they can just stabilise things before the next election with a lame-duck pm.
