Under the Tories, the welfare bill went up by £88 billion. They left children too poor to eat. They wrote young people off as too ill to work. That costs the country money and is bad for productivity. And it's a massive waste of potential. This is a moral mission. We need to

It was good to go on @TimesRadio to talk about the massive positive impact this Budget will have on reducing child poverty and on helping families with the cost of living. (2/2)

Was good to knock on doors yesterday to talk to local people about how the Budget will make a difference in their lives. For instance, it will boost the living standards of over 4,000 children here in Hendon and lifting 450,000 out of poverty nationally. That’s a huge achievement

Capital investment. Not the flashiest part of this year's Budget, but one of the most vital for our future. Here's why 👇

One pound in every ten. That's how much of your money is going toward servicing national debt. Because the Conservatives crashed our economy and left Labour to clean up the mess. That's exactly what this Budget is doing. Labour will not mortgage our childrens' futures.

My thoughts today are with the victims of this terrible tragedy in Hong Kong, and their families. If you or your family have been affected in any way, please do reach out to me if you need any support. I can be reached via my Parliamentary email.

My main priority is to tackle the cost of living. That’s why we are making energy bills cheaper, cutting them by £150 on average from April. That’s the difference a Labour government makes.

In the days after any budget, we hear lots of hot takes and analysis, some of it illuminating, much of it not. Amidst all the noise, remember: this is the chart that matters. 90% of households will be see a positive overall benefit.

This is a Budget with fairness at its very heart. Cutting the cost of living. Cutting NHS waiting lists. Cutting the national debt. Smashed it, @RachelReevesMP 🌹

It’s Budget Day! The ex Treasury official in me always gets excited at fiscal. But you should be too. This budget will have fairness at its heart and make a real difference, cutting the cost of living

Today’s Budget is about taking fair choices. It will focus on your priorities: cutting the cost of living, cutting waiting lists and cutting the national debt. This Labour government will deliver strong foundations for our economy and secure our country’s future.

A Budget that cuts waiting lists, that cuts our debt and borrowing, and cuts the cost of living. That is my commitment to you.

Today we have announced our response to the review into Carer's Allowance. We inherited a mess. We are sorting it out. We strongly value the work carers do.

Hi Andrew: 1. The sugar tax was introduced in 2018 by the Conservatives. You voted for it. 2. There's a 3 line whip running in Parliament today. Has your party given you a slip... to go and buy a milkshake?
Rachel Reeves is after your milkshake. She can't control public spending, she slashed growth, and now she's making you foot the bill. The Chancellor is totally out of her depth.

'National renewal' is more than a slogan. It means stabilising the economy, reducing national debt, and putting money back in your pocket as a result.
