Budget 2024 reside: Watch as Rachel Reeves delivers speech

Rachel Reeves has begun delivering the first Budget by a Labour government in 14 years.

The Chancellor said that “change must be felt”, adding “the only way to drive economic growth is to invest, invest, invest.” 

She is thought to be seeking to raise £35bn to fill a “black hole” in the public finances.

Sir Keir Starmer has warned the nation to prepare for “tough decisions” to be made, adding it is a “huge day for Britain”.

He warned: “We won’t shy away from the tough decisions to grow our economy and protect working people’s payslips.”
