Rachel Reeves' budget represents a significant financial pivot, introducing £20 billion annually in taxes aimed at rich and businesses, marking a shift from austerity to increased public investment.
The budget targets restoring the deteriorated British state with £2 billion additional spending, extensive NHS funding, and compensation for victims, yet implies real cuts for some departments.
While increased NHS funding could enhance service and reduce waiting times, the decision to freeze fuel duty could lead to tensions, as public transport fare hikes challenge everyday commuters.
Reflecting on previous austerity, Reeves lays out an ambitious spending plan bolstered by tax increases, with long-term strategies aimed at stabilizing public services amid economic strains.
