For the first time we’re giving mayors a share of income tax so communities directly benefit when their economy grows.

This will be a Budget that moves money and power out of Westminster, and into every postcode around Britain.

The people who best understand what skills employers want, what transport an area needs and where investment can make the biggest difference are those who live there.

I want a clear plan to increase UK defence spending to 3% of GDP by 2030.

We share the values, we share the vision, and we will start together now, Prime Minister and Chancellor, to build that new hope, to build that new economy.

Time to get on with the job.

You will see this as a determined drive that you have not seen before from a British government. Buying British not 'if possible', but by design. So every procurement pound supports British jobs, British apprenticeships and British skills.

I am as concerned about the cost of business as I am the cost of living. I am really concerned that where we make government policy and government decisions, these can help raise the levels of investment, innovation and profit in British…

We will meet our commitments on defence to our international allies.

Together, we will build a new economy, build new hope and advance the working people of this country.

We are writing today to ask for your confirmation... that you will fully pass through the VAT reduction to all your domestic customers, including those on fixed tariffs, for the duration of the cut to reassure consumers across the country…

We are determined to bring hope back, give businesses the support they need and generate growth in every postcode.

This measure is funded this year from cancelling the Digital ID programme, and it will help bring down inflation while supporting households in every postcode.

John Healey intends to pursue this idea, he wants to raise the money that we need for defence because he knows better than anyone that it is not a luxury, it is absolutely necessary.

fiscal credibility is the bedrock for economic stability and for national security

I will work in lockstep with the new PM to meet the fiscal rules with a buffer against uncertainty.

This action to ease the cost of living is funded by savings made elsewhere, so there’s no burden to British taxpayers, just pounds going back into their pockets.

That is why yesterday we cut VAT on electricity bills and today we’re announcing a £2 cap on bus fares from January.

the Treasury has been unwilling, to commit the resources that the nation needs to defend the country at this time of rising threats.

The Treasury with defence really was in denial about the commitment that the UK has rightly made to Nato and to our people: it is still planning, was still planning on 3 per cent, but not until 2034-35.

Fiscal control is the first duty of any chancellor. It is mine. And fiscal credibility is the bedrock for economic stability and for national security, and you heard the prime minister this afternoon say, in this more dangerous world, we…

We see you. We see your activity over our cables and our pipelines, and you should know that any attempt to damage them will not be tolerated and will have serious consequences.

I am certain that a headmark date for 3% of GDP on defence in 2030 is what Britain must set.

For too long, too many people have struggled with the cost of living. Today's energy tax cut will give families some breathing room on bills, and provide some reassurance this winter.
