This week's Budget is about breathing space today and fresh hope for the future. Tell us what matters most to you: act.labour.org.uk/p/budget-2…
The Tories' Brexit deal wasn't good enough.
The British people deserved better - and that is what this Labour Government will work tirelessly to deliver.
The Budget and OBR documents cover a lot of ground. Treasury minister Torsten Bell has pulled out five charts that bring the key points into focus, from the bigger picture on the economy to changes to energy bills and devolution.
Read Torsten’s Budget breakdown to find out how this Labour government is delivering breathing space for today, and hope for the future.
Five charts that explain the Budget, plus some reflections on the debate coming out of it – not least the importance of understanding that economic policy is about a lot more than tax and spend.

Reindustrialisation isn’t just a concept – it's a commitment we’re making to deliver jobs and growth for people across the country.
This agreement is a vote of confidence in the economic plan we’re delivering – giving businesses the certainty they need to grow and invest here on our shores.
We're backing the future of UK aerospace ✈️🇬🇧
A new partnership with @RollsRoyce will help build the next generation of aircraft engines, supporting skilled jobs and growth.
Business Secretary @jreynoldsmp joined the Prime Minister @andyburnham and Chancellor @JohnHealey_MP in Derby to meet the engineers helping make it happen.

Your UK Labour Government announced £100 payments to help with energy bills. After calls from Labour, the Plaid Cymru Government has now agreed to pass that help on to households in Wales.
The Tory Shadow Chancellor would hate for you to know that he was all-in for Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-Budget.
Your taxes should be spent on your priorities and the area you live in.
That is why Labour is devolving more tax decisions to mayors.

In our first 100 days, our Labour Government has set a course for fresh hope, good growth, and support for those who need it.
Breathing space now, fresh hope for the future. Delivered to the British people by this Labour Government.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Labour's post claims the Government delivered 'breathing space now' on energy bills. The £100 payment and VAT cut extension provide targeted support but typical bills are still forecast to rise substantially from the current £1,723 cap.
