Let's hope he does a better job than that self-serving creep Osbourne ever did.

Laughing fool.

Nothing on beer and fags...there you go proles. :)

Fags have gone up

? didn't he say freeze on both? Sorry must have misheard.

:fc: for Whisky


:worry:

£350 million for Scotland, a warning to Scotland that if you leave you're not getting anything anymore!

Funding for 110 new free schools whatever they are

Free school transport to get to school for those on free school meals

£216 million to improve schools

Offering maintenance loans for part time undergraduates and doctorates

Introduction of T-Levels - a technical alternative to A-Levels. Replaces 13,000 qualifications with 15 routes.

Offering maintanance loans to those wanting to study technical courses similar to those who go to University

Impressed so far.
Liking the sound of the free transport for kids on school meals.

£500m a year to support technical students aged 16-19

£2billion additional to social care over three years

Authorities struggling with health and social care will get additional support govt. will release a green paper on how to tackle the long term issue of social care

Sounds good to me so far.

£100 million immediately going to triage projects in English hospitals to ease A&E waiting times

"Our United Kingdom has a proud history. We look forwards not backwards. We reaffirm our investment into britains future. Clear in our determination to build a stronger, fairer Britain." - Philip Hammond

Excellent budget all round.
More giving less taking away.

Can't wait for Jezza to try and find faults. Corbyn is shook!

:joker:Corbyn is shocking.
