Rachel’s guide to growing your own £20 bn hole:
1️⃣ Do look at just one side of the budget: ignore departmental underspends but be sure to big up the risk of overspends.
2️⃣ Ignore the benefit of an improving economy with the interest rate government pays on borrowing expected to

David has been a brilliant MP the area since 2010, consistently delivering for local residents. Boundary changes significantly change David’s patch and I can
Today we remember those heroes of D-Day who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure freedom triumphed over tyranny.
As a nation we can never forget the immense debt we owe them.
Labour speak with forked tongue. Their energy policy of re-nationalisation is bad for investment and bad for jobs in Heysham. Energy is our largest employer we need more investment and more jobs in our nuclear industry with the build of Heysham 3. Labours policy puts this at risk
I have just written to the Secretary of State for Energy and Net Zero
@ClaireCoutinho
to urge her to give
@GBNgovuk
the green light to purchase the land at Heysham 3 for a new nuclear development, allowing one of the new SMR reactors to be built at Heysham.
And this historic uplift will also empower continued investments in conventional forces from attack submarines to jets.
These capabilities and a new National Defence & Resilience Plan, will leave our enemies in no doubt about the strength of UK defence.
Not only will we maximise every pound spent on defence with a reformed procurement model – we will put our defence industry on a war footing.
Doubling our spend on munitions with a new £10bn strategy to rearm Britain.
From the pilots scrambling at a moment’s notice, to the sailors in the Red Sea, the soldiers stationed on NATO’s eastern flank & those who you will never see or know.
We will ensure everyone brave enough to defend their country is supported with what they need to fight.
Since 2019, we’ve already uplifted defence spending by £41bn.
But by going further, today’s £75bn will give our Armed Forces a strategic advantage against any aggressor, by ensuring 5% of the defence budget goes to R&D to harness new tech from lasers to AI.
With an axis of authoritarian states growing increasingly assertive and acting together to reshape the world, we must act now to ensure we can lead our allies in this contested world.
Today’s uplift will ensure we can face down threats globally.
Not only will this £75 billion keep Britain safe, it will also guarantee our long term support for Ukraine.
Which is how we’ve today announced the largest ever military donation and an extra £500 million to help Ukraine defeat Putin.
By far the largest uplift enacted since the Cold War, this increase, starting today will see us reach 2.5% of GDP by 2030.
That means by the end of the decade we’ll be spending over £22bn extra a year on defence and more than double what we spent in 2010.
JUST ANNOUNCED: Defence Spending will rise by £75bn over the next 6 years.
With the world becoming more dangerous we can’t afford not to act. That’s why we’ll invest unprecedented amounts to give our Armed Forces a game-changing advantage.
