In a few days, I will present my second Budget as the Chancellor. Priority will be given to working families as I outline plans to reduce NHS waiting lists, cut national debt, and lower the cost of living. These are crucial issues for the nation and my key focus as Chancellor.

Addressing NHS waiting lists is a significant commitment as we strive to uplift the NHS, reverse past austerity impacts, and ensure patients receive timely treatment. Tackling national debt is essential to allocate resources to vital sectors like education, healthcare, law enforcement, and communities.

Reducing the cost of living is paramount, as high prices burden households, particularly affecting ordinary families. The upcoming Budget will include measures to alleviate this pressure. Our government has already implemented initiatives such as freezing prescription charges and rail fares, establishing breakfast clubs in schools, and combatting ticket touting to assist individuals with daily expenses.

Efforts to ease the cost of living are feasible due to economic stability and prudent spending practices. Measures to eliminate waste and fraud, optimizing resource allocation, will ensure that the budget benefits families directly. This Budget aims to create a fairer, stronger, and more secure Britain for all citizens.
