John Healey is due to present his first budget on Wednesday. Measures are expected to benefit struggling households, first-time buyers and small shops, while banks and online marketplaces could face higher levies. The plans include household support, help with energy bills and a first-home equity loan, amid pressure from debt costs and defence spending.
