This budget is fixing the foundations and delivering change. We’re putting rocket boosters under our growing creative industries.

I would really rather hear from that nice plant to her left. Tree of the Day
25 years of economic consensus has failed Britain. Today's Budget accelerates the doom loop of decline. Watch my analysis of Reeves' punishment Budget.👇

Today we have ended the injustice of the Mineworkers’ Pension Scheme. We’re returning £1.5 billion to over 100,000 former mineworkers and their dependents, delivering justice for our coalfield communities. This is a victory for all those who fought for a fair deal for miners.

The budget cost Sunak a LOT of money today... Capital Gains Tax UP (his tax return shows majority of his "income" from capital gain Halting offshore trusts to avoid inheritance tax Stopping non-dom tax status (wife avoided £20 million in tax as non-dom) Cue California Oh yes and the private jet thing....funny to watch but he won't even know he's paying it....at least Starmer CANCELLED the £40 million new helicopter Sunak had ordered us to pay for him to use!!

The truth is, we inherited a mess. I’m prepared to take the tough decisions necessary to grow our economy and deliver the promise of change.

Punchy from Chancellor: “the party opposite failed this country. Their austerity broke the National Health Service. Their Brexit deal harmed British businesses. And their mini-budget left families paying the price with higher mortgages”

This Budget arrests the Tory decline, fixes the foundations of our NHS, and delivers the change Britain voted for. Starting by delivering the 40k extra appointments and AI-enabled scanners we promised. The first step in our 10-year plan to make the NHS fit for the future.
