UK Budget Warning: £35bn Gap; Putin Breaks Trump's Ceasefire

UK media headlines highlight two major developments: a warning that tax rises are needed to address a £35bn fiscal gap ahead of the Budget, and reports that Putin has broken a ceasefire brokered by Trump in the Russia-Ukraine war. The fiscal gap signals potential UK austerity or tax hikes, while the ceasefire breakdown escalates geopolitical risk in Eastern Europe.

Specific budget measures remain unannounced, creating significant uncertainty regarding future UK fiscal policy.
