Freezing fuel duty since 2010 has cost the Treasury/saved motorists a whopping £100billion, the @OBR_UK says. #Budget24

This is so, so important, and very welcome. @RachelReevesMP announces £1billion of extra funding for Special Educational Needs or Disability (SEND) in schools. There is huge demand yet huge funding gap, so this money is vital. #Budget24

The fear has got to be that the very welcome 1p off draught beer will be lost in pubs upping prices to cover higher wages. #Budget24

Mixed blessing for thousands of pubs and hospitality firms as Chancellor announces 40% business rate relief from April, but many have been getting 75% discount. So bill hike still on the way, combined with higher wage bill.

Biggest announcement yet in #Budget24 as @RachelReevesMP ups employers' national insurance to 15% and slashes threshold at which it is paid from £9,100 to £5,000. Will rake in a whopping £25billion but will go down like a lead balloon with firms.

Confirmed: fuel duty will be frozen AGAIN and temporary 5p a litre cut maintained for another year. That's a £3bn cost. #Budget24

As expected, @RachelReevesMP tackles Carers Allowance - currently just £81.90 a week - by increasing the amount recipients can earn before it is withdrawn, to £10,000 a year. #Budget24

Updated forecasts from @OBR_UK have inflation averaging 2.5% this year, then 2.6% next year falling to 2% in 2029. It also forecasts economic growth of 1.1% this year, rising to 2% next year, but easing to 1.5% in 2027 and 2028 and 1.6% in 2029. #Budget24
