I mean, I'm struggling to see what is quite so frustrating... it's a budget - and from the UK. Hence, UK Budget.
The reality of this is the UK-based news channel has been closed down. The new style guide for this channel has an international audience in mind so, just like BBC World News, there is a need to not presume it'll be a UK audience you're speaking to. The same principle would apply if it was a French budget, for example. You'd hardly expect the Channel to just assume the audience was familiar with the French political cycle.
