This will be a Budget that moves money and power out of Westminster, and into every postcode around Britain.
What we can do is be an active, hands-on Government that puts British interests first – giving breathing space to those feeling financial strain and making our country more resilient so we can better weather these shocks in the future.
I am confident Labour can honour a commitment to increase defence spending and make the decisions that allow us to set out a long-term plan to make our forces better equipped to fight and to deter the threats we face.
We are determined to bring hope back, give businesses the support they need and generate growth in every postcode.
