She supports her colleague's view on the damaging impact of Labour's economic policies, though she suggests a different film analogy to illustrate their criticism.

She criticises the Conservatives for hypocrisy, pointing out that their record in government included 88,000 young people becoming NEETs. She accuses them of ignoring unemployment among young people despite advocating policies to address it.

He agrees with the criticism that Labour's policies are pushing more pensioners into higher tax brackets and that the Employment Rights Bill will make employing younger workers riskier, worsening NEET statistics.

Youth unemployment among 16 to 24-year-olds is at a staggering 15%. The Budget measures, including national insurance hikes and minimum wage increases, will make it harder for employers to hire young people. This could lead to higher youth unemployment.

The right hon. Member's concerns about the Budget are unfounded; many of those impacted by welfare changes have a parent in work, and two-thirds of children in poverty come from working families.

Critiques the Government for allowing Chinese vehicles in the Motability scheme despite claiming to support British-made cars. Raises concerns over data security and encourages the Government to address the growing number of Chinese vehicles on the market.

Questions whether the youth guarantee's boost for apprenticeships is just a rehash of the existing apprenticeship levy, requesting more public expenditure and grant funding for small businesses to initiate the process.

Welcomed the Budget for its strong fiscal management, sound economic efficiency, and fair cost of living measures such as lower rail fares and energy bills, and raising half a million children out of poverty.

The Chancellor has created headroom to buffer the UK economy against global volatility. He accepted the IMF's recommendation for annual fiscal rule assessments, improving policy predictability. The previous Conservative Government left insufficient headroom due to unwillingness to cut spending or raise taxes. This led to backlogged courts and overflowing prisons, exacerbating child poverty. The Budget aims to tax property savings and dividends similarly to earned income, reducing incentives for tax avoidance. It also reforms enterprise investment schemes to support entrepreneurs. Additionally, the minimum wage is being raised and workers are given more negotiation power.

Labour's Budget has increased taxes on electric cars, holidays, and taxis. Unemployment has surged by 19% since Labour took power, with nearly 100,000 jobs lost in hospitality. Inflation has doubled, causing a cost of living crisis. The family farm tax introduced by the Government is hitting tenant farmers hard despite their vital role in protecting countryside, rural communities and food security. Additionally, the jobs tax is impacting small businesses across Scotland.

The family farm tax is destroying the family farm sector, forcing tenant farmers out and impacting food security ambitions despite its intention to target multimillionaire 'slipper farmers'.

Supports the Chancellor's Budget, highlighting measures such as reducing energy bills and freezing prescription charges.

Raises concerns about ongoing energy price increases despite government promises.

Rosindell argues that the Budget will not improve lives in Romford due to increased taxes, burden on hard-working families, and a lack of reduction in public sector spending.

Rosindell highlights high tax burdens since WWII and expresses concern over excessive government spending without corresponding cuts.

Glindon welcomes several announcements in the Budget that address cost of living pressures and social security issues. She mentions savings for families from energy support measures, rail fare freezes, and a 4.8% increase to the state pension.

The speaker emphasises that this Labour Government is committed to backing Cornwall's public services and industries.

Families and businesses across the country will have heard yesterday’s Budget and been disappointed that the Government missed their second opportunity to seriously address some of the key issues we are facing. Energy bills remain sky high, the cost of employment continues to rise, and, with no substantial reference to Brexit, the Chancellor is ignoring the single biggest measure which could boost economic growth. Increasing the minimum wage is of course welcome news for millions of low-paid workers, but unless businesses are able to grow there is a danger that it will result in fewer jobs being available overall. Businesses from all sectors across the UK continue to struggle with high energy bills, compounded by the burden of last year’s NICs rise and concerns about the impact of the Employment Rights Bill on their monthly employment costs. The cost of employment has risen significantly over the past year, with nearly 70,000 job losses in hospitality alone since just last October. This has obvious challenges for businesses, many of whom will find it difficult to absorb further costs. However, these businesses provide vital social value and essential entry-level jobs, offering many young people their first job. Adding national insurance to salary sacrifice pension contributions also pushes up the cost of employment. Last week, I asked the Chancellor what information her Department holds on the number of people who use salary sacrifice schemes. To my astonishment, the Treasury responded by stating that His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs does not hold that data on the number of employers offering, and employees using, salary sacrifice schemes. I am also concerned about the impact on investment if pension contributions are squeezed, because we know that pension funds have a significant role to play in ensuring that UK companies get the scale-up investment they need.

This Budget sets out a serious and responsible direction for our country’s future and speaks directly to the needs of people in Burnley, Padiham and Brierfield. It supports families and workers, puts the public finances back on stable ground and backs the businesses that are the backbone of towns like ours. Crucially, we are already seeing real, measurable progress for Britain after 14 years of incompetence, failure, stagnation and rampant inflation. Growth has been upgraded to 1.5% this year and wages have risen faster in our first year than during the last decade the Conservatives were in power. For people in towns like ours, those are not abstract statistics; they are the difference between treading water—constant struggle—and finally feeling as though we are moving forward again as a community and as a country. Families in my area have felt the squeeze more than most. I hear weekly about parents monitoring the thermostat hour by hour, commuters worried about every fare rise and households whose disposable income has simply evaporated with the cost of living.

He criticised the proposed budget for increasing taxes on working people to pay for welfare, particularly through a frozen tax threshold and higher income tax rates for pensioners. He warned that these measures would lead to fewer job opportunities for young people and lower earners due to increased business costs, leading to unemployment peaking at 5%.

She defended the Labour Budget as fair and action-oriented, highlighting it would lift around 1,990 children in her constituency out of poverty. She also celebrated the Government's decision to return British Coal staff superannuation scheme surplus to members and abolish the bingo tax.

Welcomed the Budget, noting it ends the child benefit cap benefiting children in his constituency. He highlighted the reduction of household energy bills by £150 from April next year, the increase in taxation on online gambling and homes over £2 million to fund public services, and another rise in the national minimum wage. However, he remains concerned about inheritance tax changes for farmers.

Welcomed the Budget noting it supports social justice, redistribution, and universal rights with progressive policies to benefit low-income households while increasing taxes on high earners. He highlighted measures such as cutting energy bills, raising wages, protecting the state pension, removing the two-child cap on universal credit, and investing £820 million in Scotland's public services.

Welcomed the Budget for its focus on NHS improvements and cost-of-living measures. He highlighted progress on reducing NHS waiting times, opening a new surgical centre in Northwich, and rebuilding Leighton hospital. Additionally, he noted benefits from free breakfast clubs, expanded energy support through warm homes discount, rise in national minimum wage, and removal of the two-child benefit cap.

The Chancellor delivered a Budget in challenging global economic circumstances, despite high public debt and low investment inherited from the Conservative party. The Budget delivers an additional £820 million for Scottish public services since 2020, ending the two-child cap for benefits, increasing the minimum wage, offering £150 off heating bills, protecting pension interest for BCSSS mineworkers, and investing in employability support for disabled people. The measures demonstrate fiscal responsibility and fairness, promoting economic growth that benefits everyone.

The Chancellor's announcement to double the road maintenance budget is welcomed by my constituents. Measures such as freezing rail fares, maintaining the triple lock on pensions, increasing the minimum wage, removing the two-child benefit cap, widening free school meal eligibility, and providing funding for local infrastructure projects will significantly impact families in Congleton positively.

The Budget addresses inherited economic issues from previous administrations.

Mr Torsten Bell acknowledges contributions from Members and addresses criticisms made about Britain's economy. He emphasises that Britain avoided recession in 2025, with growth revised up by the OBR, wages increased more under this Government compared to the previous decade, and youth apprenticeships decreased significantly under the Conservative Party.

Sir John questions the government's approach towards apprenticeships, noting that they are being downgraded in the skills White Paper. He believes this undermines their reputation with learners and employers.

Ms Sarah Olney contests the Minister’s claims regarding council tax equalization, arguing it does not address disparities between rich and poor areas.

The Government are bringing back face-to-face assessments for health benefits and addressing the overseas pension scandal. The previous government allowed individuals to purchase state pensions cheaply, even if they only resided in Britain briefly. This Government plans to scrap the two-child limit on benefits, lifting over half a million children out of poverty, thereby delivering the largest reduction in child poverty recorded in any Parliament. They argue that tackling child poverty is both a moral imperative and an economic necessity as it costs the country £40 billion annually. Furthermore, they claim their Budget addresses issues affecting every street by cutting borrowing, reducing energy bills, and rebuilding public services.
