I don’t think it was intended to shape any specific narrative - just that it’s what interests journalists the most.

But yes, to everyone else it stopped being of any interest the moment the chancellor spoke.

News is too focused on journalists’ interests rather than the public interest

I think that's probably the best take, really.

But very frustrating for those of us who keep wishing for a big bold plan, aka a New Deal, to remake Britain after the damage of Brexit and austerity.

It's almost like she hasn't got a clue how any of this works.

Aside from that, I too would be against taxing hiking.

Absolutely. I just don't understand why they spent all the political capital to hold off until now?!?
Their first budget could have been a zinger.

Which then collides with:
- Small time/people allocated for testing
- No testing with real users "There isn't time/They'll just quibble"
- A key person being on holiday who knows the crucial 'trick' for scheduled publishing
- Some poor sod doing multiple jobs

(all speculation, but typical)

And those minor mistakes rarely happen because of incompetence, but as trade-offs between competing pressures.
Eg yes I know we ran late with having to add that custom feature, but the boss demands we put the site live on schedule, so we have to just add that scheduled publishing thing quickly.

They do seem to be on Wordpress. No concept of timezones or daylight saving in that selector, but likely it is based on GMT/BST. If CRON is running on UTC, then you'll get a difference, which could lead to something being published an hour off.
Speaking from experience of, er, a friend

Yes, I think you're bang on. My guess is the server time is set to UTC, and the time was selected in the CMS during BST, while preparing the contents of the page in advance. But there's therefore a mismatch between the time the person thinks they're setting, and the time being set.

I think that's how it's become, yes — the fight with Alistair Campbell over the dodgy dossier being the start of the slide, and Brexshittification being the plummet down — but it used to be that the BBC was bold, and its lawyers were focused on how to get stuff on air rather than caution

But make sure you obsequiously patronise yourself while you do it, for the full experience!
