In full: Rachel Reeves Delivers Autumn Budget
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to deliver Labour’s first Budget in 14 years on Wednesday in the House of Commons.
The Chancellor is expected to move away from the bleak language that has dominated in the lead up to the Budget, with a promise to “reject austerity” and put “more pounds in people’s pockets”.
“Invest, invest, invest” will be the theme – with funding promised for hospitals, homes and schools.
She has repeatedly warned that it will involve “difficult decisions” and some tax rises and spending cuts are expected, although the Government has said that they won’t raise taxes on workers’ payslips.
Reeves will say: “My belief in Britain burns brighter than ever. And the prize on offer to today is immense.”
