We welcome the £10 billion in support for Ukraine announced by John Healey for 2027 (£3 billion military and £7 billion civil). It's a strong demonstration of support for a European democracy under attack, and an investment in our collective defence. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

This looks fair enough for a budget, to me.

Good growth starts with empowering local leaders who know their communities best 👏 £285m for local growth in 2027–28, an additional £150m to strengthen local capacity & a planned £1.5bn borrowing facility will help mayors & strategic authorities invest in homes, town centres, jobs & infrastructure.

An important decision on tax devolution. Mayors will keep a % of *basic rate* income tax revenues only. Gives an incentive to grow local employment (everyone pays basic rate) rather than to attract high-earners. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6ae103...
