It was an honour to attend the Armistice Day service at Paddington Station, with the 'Poppies to Paddington' train carrying wreaths from across the GWR network to the war memorial at Paddington's Platform One.

Today, we honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. And we give thanks to all those who have served, and who continue to serve, to defend our freedom today.
Now and always, we will remember them.
Banking hubs can make an enormous difference where bank branches have closed. I spoke about the benefits for elderly and disabled people in a debate in Parliament.

Good to talk to local Gurkhas following the Gurkha Remembrance Service on Wednesday, with Yuan Yang MP and Liv Bailey MP.
I would like to thank everyone who came to the meeting which set up the Friends of Prospect Park group last week, there is a lot of energy in the local community and I am looking forward to working with residents, my colleague Olivia Bailey MP, the police and the council.

Last week I spoke about the legacy of Grenfell in a debate on the Building Safety Bill. I am pleased that the Government has a plan in place for those still living with unsafe cladding. This will mean that buildings will be fixed faster and residents will be supported better.
It was a privilege to attend the Gurkha Remembrance Service in Whitehall.
This was a moving and powerful show of support for our Gurkhas and I was proud to take part. 🧵1/2

My Budget today will help families with the pressures they face now.
It will back businesses and entrepreneurs, invest in Britain's future, and strengthen our national security.
A plan to get through this moment and build a stronger Britain.
