In a few days, I will present my second Budget as the Chancellor. I will focus on supporting working families by addressing NHS waiting lists, reducing national debt, and lowering the cost of living, aligning with the nation’s priorities.
The commitment to cut NHS waiting lists stems from the need to uplift the healthcare system, reverse past austerity measures, and ensure timely patient care. Additionally, reducing national debt is crucial to redirecting funds to essential sectors like education, healthcare, law enforcement, and local communities.
Addressing the cost of living remains a top concern, especially for ordinary households facing financial strain. Recognizing the economic challenges faced by working people, the upcoming Budget will introduce measures to alleviate these pressures.
Previous initiatives have already made a positive impact, such as freezing prescription charges and rail fares, establishing breakfast clubs in schools, and combating ticket scalping to make entertainment more affordable. These efforts demonstrate a commitment to easing financial burdens on individuals.
Stability in the economy has enabled progress in addressing living costs, while stringent measures against wasteful spending and fraud ensure resources are allocated efficiently. The forthcoming Budget aims to further support households and advance towards a fairer and more resilient Britain.
The Budget is designed to benefit individuals and families, fostering a more equitable and secure society for all.
