@c5news: The Chancellor also got some laughs for a mistake he made about the energy minister. Chancellor John Healey turned the opening minutes of his ‘beans and gherkins’ Budget into a comedy roast on Wednesday, making jokes about his boss, Andy Burnham, and Liz Truss’ recent claim that Britons would be on Mars by 2040 if she’d stayed in power. He also got laughs for a mistake he made about his own energy secretary. He said Miatt Fahnbulleh has opposed the Jackdaw gas field. #5news #autumnbudget
