Today’s Budget will cut NHS waiting lists and enable us to invest in Britain’s future by rebuilding our hospitals, schools and broken roads.

John xxxxxx,

We’re fixing the foundations to deliver change.

Today’s Budget will cut NHS waiting lists and enable us to invest in Britain’s
future by rebuilding our hospitals, schools and broken roads:

* Over £25.6 billion of new funding which will deliver an extra two million NHS
operations, scans and appointments a year, so waiting times are reduced for
you and your family.
* £1.4 billion to rebuild 500 schools to deliver classrooms that children can
learn and thrive in.
* £500 million to fix local roads and fill in an additional one million
potholes a year.

These are just some of the steps this Labour Government is taking to deliver
change.

And John xxxxxx, as promised, we’re doing all of this by
making fairer choices, ensuring that working people don’t face higher taxes in
their payslips.

We are choosing to protect working people with a pay rise for over 3 million earning the National Living Wage and have
frozen fuel duty, while making fair choices to increase funding for public
services.

We’re helping those most in need with essentials, announcing £1 billion to help
those facing financial hardship with the Household Support Fund, and ensuring
pensioners are protected in their retirement by confirming an increase of up to
£475 in the state pension next year.

It hasn’t been easy. The £22 billion black hole that the Tories left in the
public finances means that there are tough decisions on spending, welfare and
tax.

Unlike the Tories, this Labour Government isn’t dodging those decisions. We’re
cracking down on fraud, tax avoidance and waste, and making sure that every penny of taxpayer money is spent wisely.

We had a choice: five more years of Conservative decline with more austerity and
working people picking up the bill, or change with Labour investing in Britain’s
future.

John xxxxxx, we chose change. This Labour Government is fixing
the NHS, rebuilding Britain and protecting the payslips of working people.

We’re fixing the foundations and setting the country on the path of change.

Thank you,

Rachel Reeves MP
Chancellor of the Exchequer
