philip hammond has had a rock'n'roll time as chancellor. terms with theresa may as she is extremely weak. so his good terms are linked to a very weak and prime minister and she is doggedly pursuing that brexit deal and we will see what happens with that by the end of the year. but he was sending a strong signal. looking at the balance of power in the cabinet, i think he was trying to peel off the pragmatic brexiteers who might find that argument appealing and it was interesting that you mentioned the obr, ben — they can read the obr as well as anyone else and realise that if they don't get something close to a deal that things could go badly wrong. he will certainly have a lot of people, the eurosceptic wing will say, we don't believe this, you arejust wing will say, we don't believe this, you are just trying to frighten us. but it is not a bad way for philip hammond to sort out where people fall on this. the other line was the end to austerity. how much ofan end was the end to austerity. how much of an end we actually to see? well, it was

the right honourable philip hammond.chancellor had come with words of encouragement. i present to the house a budget for britain's future, a budget that shows the perseverance of the british people finally paying off. he clearly meant to make an impact. because today, mr deputy speaker, i can report to the british people that their hard work is paying off and the era of austerity is finally coming to an end. but there were strings attached and a message to mps, britain needed a brexit deal to guarantee its future. we are at a pivotal moment in our eu negotiations and the stakes could not be higher. get it right and we will not only protect britain's jobs, businesses and prosperity, but we will also harvest a double deal dividend. what was on offer today? we had heard about another £20 billion for the nhs in england, and he had a new announcement. today i can announce that the nhs ten year plan will include a new mental health crisis service with comprehensive mental health support available in every major a&e, children a

let's move on to the financial times and philip hammond, the chancellor., a curious speech, referencing not quite the failure of 2ist—ce ntu ry referencing not quite the failure of 2ist—century capitalism. what did you make of it? it is difficult, he was saying we have to offer change, because jeremy corbyn was saying we have to offer change, becausejeremy corbyn and labour are offering change, he did not say that but that is what he meant, so we cannot be the party of continuity. even though they have been in government for years now. it is difficult when you have been in power for this long to drum difficult when you have been in powerfor this long to drum up any sense of excitement and change, and to suggest you're not good carry on doing what you have been doing for the last few years. in contrast to boris, as we said, although he is a divisive figure, boris is now clearly trying to put that clear water between him and the rest of his party. at least the ones in the cabinet. and therefore, he is saying, come with me, i can offer something fresh, but th

how much room for manoeuvre does philip hammond really have?mited room to move because we still have a significant deficit, we have set up 80% of gdp, nearly double what it was before the financial crash. on top of that, given the insurrectionary mood in the conservative party, it is hard to see holly he could increase taxes. more than that, everything is on hold until brexit. until it is settled one way or the other, there is little prospect for any major move by the treasury will start today i think will be very cautious, verity constraint, although, interestingly, the attempts we saw at the weekend by philip hammond to douse down expectations, saying that there would only be an end to austerity if and when we got brexit deal. that appears to have annoyed downing street, because the prime minister's spokesman in the last few minutes has been striking a much more optimistic note, suggesting that the era of austerity will be coming to an end regardless of whether there is a brexit deal or not. that is a different note to the very cautious one s

philip hammond content with his deep's work.ning point in our history and we must resolve to go forwards, not backwards and work together to build a britain that we can all be proud of. i commend this statement to the house. tory mps were happy that it is thejob of house. tory mps were happy that it is the job of labour to be unimpressed and jeremy corbyn could not wait to get started. this is a broken promise budget. what we have heard to date are half measures and quick fixes while austerity grinds on. farfrom quick fixes while austerity grinds on. far from people's quick fixes while austerity grinds on. farfrom people's hard work and sacrifice as having paid off as the government has claimed this government has claimed this government has claimed this government has frittered away in ideological tax cuts to the richest in our society. the opponents of the government queued to condemn what they had heard. all the big decisions about how we pay for public services and the so—called end of austerity, it has been put off until ne

philip hammond warning of the risks that scenario may entail.ave got some hardline brexiters is calling him a remourner. what about labour, what are the opposition saying? john mcdonnell has been under andrew marshall. labour's position is to avoid an ordeal scenario. i am deeply worried. i have seen interviews with hammond today. he seems to be edging towards what he said short while back, and no—deal brexit. i am really worried about that. that is the worst of all options. it could damage our economy, underminejobs, and we'll do everything we can in parliament to make sure that we protect jobs and the economy. we are saying to theresa may, if you bring that deal back, you have support. if you can't, move to one side and we will deal with it. that is the way we will protect economy. what else can we expect in the budget? there is going to be some extra money for road improvements. this is money that has been promised under the last chancellor. some extra money promised by philip hammond. that will be from major a roads and motorways. a few hund

today philip hammond tried to change the economic story of this government. ion's debts and towards spending and tax cuts — the ending of austerity. next year mr hammond said the government would spend £2.3 £2.3 billion on public services. and that figure would rise to £30.6 billion by 2024 — the biggest change in public spending for at least a decade. the prime minister said the chancellor are very difficult challenge with the declaration was the end of austerity and you think he had over delivered on expectations. the reason he could do that was because he got a very big improvement in the public finance forecast from the independent forecasters with the results i think the budget is probably the biggest giveaway budget for a generation. who are the winners? spending on the nhs rises to £27.6 billion by 2024. there will be more support for people earning while claiming the new universal credit benefit — that will cost £1.7 billion. and there will be an increase in the amount of money we can earn before we are taxed. that will cost £9.6 billion overfive years

it was philip hammond's third budget. for lovers of parliamentary nuggets, it was, interestingly, the first monday budget for 56 years. the last chancellor to make the famous speech to parliament on a monday was the conservative selwyn lloyd back in the spring of 1962 a time before most of the present mps were born. at the start of this budget day, philip hammond posed for the traditional photographs outside 11 downing street. before making the short trip to the palace of westminster. to conservative cheers, the chancellor entered the commons and took his seat shortly before half past three. he said conservative chancellors, namely himself and george osborne, had had to make tough decisions in the last eight years decisions driven not by ideology but by necessity. now we have reached a defining moment on this long hard journey, opening a new chapter in our country's economic history where we can look confidently to the future and set our course for where this remarkable country will go next. because today, mr deputy speak

in fairness, it is also what philip hammond intended to be picked up.mentioned the word brexit wants, although it was clearly in the background. brexit wants, although it was clearly in the backgroundm brexit wants, although it was clearly in the background. it was indeed.

philip hammond.bably won't be too much dissent, because the bigger divisions are over brexit — the potential rebels are likely to keep their powder dry until the shape of a deal with the eu becomes clear. let's cross to our assistant political editor norman smith who's in westminsterfor us. the day after the budget is traditionally the time when people pour over the detail and people are pouring over how far mr hammond actually eased austerity, with all the spending announcements. interestingly we heard from mr hammond himself suggesting that outside of the nhs, government departments will be getting a flat 0% average increase in spending, in other words, areas like police, local government, and schools, austerity will continue, even though extra spending was announced in some of the key pressure points such as social care, for universal credit. theresa may, who is in oslo this morning, reiterated her conviction that austerity is now coming to an end. what we saw in the budget yesterday is yes auster

today philip hammond certainly try to change the economic story of this government.trolling the nation's debts and towards spending and tax cuts. the ending of austerity, he said. next year ending of austerity, he said. next yeaer hammond said ending of austerity, he said. next year mr hammond said the government would spend 2.3 billion pounds on public services and that figure would rise to 30.6 billion pounds by 2024, the biggest change in public spending for at least a decade. well, the prime minister said the chancellor are very difficult challenge with her declaration that it was the end of austerity and i think today he over delivered on expectations. the reason he was able to do that was because he got a big improvement in the public finance forecast from independent forecasters with the result that i think the budget is the biggest giveaway budget for a generation. think the budget is the biggest giveaway budget for a generationm who are the winners? spending on the nhs rises to 27.6 billion pounds by 2024. there will be more support for people earning while

of the speech we did not see philip hammond grinning.even before we... it was mooted because the nhs pledge was so expensive, we already knew that philip hammond were struggling to find the money for that, to the point of having tory mps go to downing street and say to come up with some tax—raising ideas. there are many reasons tories joined the party, but ultimately they are low tax people. and i think this is a problem. one of the things which was mooted was perhaps cancelling the fuel duty frees. we now know that the freeze will continue. so he has to find more money somehow and i think it will get very tricky for him, especially because i don't no if it is going to cover it. while we are feeling a bit depressed, let's find something which takes the pressure off us. and we don't need to worry about vitamin d. so there was advice a while ago that particularly for children and older people, that bone density, for kids' bones to grow, and avoiding osteoporosis, weaker bones, or breaking a hip if you have a fall, and so on, that vitamin d

today philip hammond admitted that a no—deal brexit would force a rethink.g to do would be to revisit where we are, decide how best to respond, that depends on what the markets are doing, the circumstances of the moment, but the important point is i have got fiscal reserves that would enable me to intervene. while some think the impact of leaving the eu without a deal is overblown, labour believes that scenario should be avoided at all costs. i'm deeply worried. i've seen interviews from philip hammond today, edging towards what he said a short while back, a no—deal brexit, and i'm really worried about that. it's the worst of all options. it could damage our economy, undermine jobs, and we'll do everything we can in parliament to make sure we get a deal that will protect jobs and the economy. philip hammond is a naturally cautious chancellor and he already had this to live up to. a decade after the financial crash, people need to know that the austerity it led to is over and that their hard work has paid off. labour willjudge the budget against that bar, so

this is the budget coming on the 29th of october, in a couple of weeks and it is about how philip hammondig thing they need to find money for is that 20 billion they are pumping into the nhs, they announced it back in july pumping into the nhs, they announced it back injuly for pumping into the nhs, they announced it back in july for the pumping into the nhs, they announced it back injuly for the health services 70th anniversary without quite figuring out where the money will come from the look down the back of the sofa at downing street, did not quite work so now they have to look at the prospect of raising some taxes. the other thing is universal credit, which is the big welfare reform package. there's a lot of course saying that needs more money too, about £2 billion, people from john major to gordon brown, jacob rees—mogg, iain duncan smith saying they need more money for that so saying they need more money for that so essentially philip hammond is under pressure from every corner saying give us more money. that is what it is to be a chancellor, the times says if you raise taxes or bl

philip hammond's speech is imminent.ogeyman for hardline brexit ears who believe he is slowly trying to snarl up brexit because he's never been enthusiastic about it. it will be interesting to gauge the reaction in the hall. i doubt he will say anything at all remarkable about brexit because if you were to do so then the potential for it to kick off is exactly what tory strategists don't want. they just want to get through this conference in one piece without an almighty punch up erupting over brexit. it's simply a case of getting through the conference and then mrs may can try and negotiate some sort of compromise. we know the prime minister is looking to bring forward new proposals on the northern ireland backstop in an effort to bridge the divide but she does not wa nt to bridge the divide but she does not want to do that here and she absolutely does not want a row here which is why a suspect philip hammond will probably collide over the thorny issues around brexit. much more of his speech we are told will be about tr

and i think with the chancellor that this is a kind of shot across the boughs of philip hammond.and find £20 billion to pay for the nhs, because if you remember earlier this year this huge nhs crisis over looking after patients, and so forth, and they were right at the edge, and the tories, as well, didn't want to be outflanked by labour on the nhs. theyjust said we will give £20 billion by 2023. they have to find some money down the back of the sofa, a lot of money, andi back of the sofa, a lot of money, and i think philip hammond is looking at various tax measures such as the freeze on tax duties, which have been frozen for the last eight yea rs. have been frozen for the last eight years. what is quite interesting is that they didn't give much away, the budget is coming up on 29 october where you would expect a lot more policies will be unveiled, but philip hammond gave in summer rae gave an indication that taxes will have to rise —— philip hammond gave an indication. either way, a conservative government might have to raise taxes as well. let's turn page two of the sun, the sa

one big consideration for philip hammond is the prime minister's pledge at the tory party conferenceo an end after eight years of cuts. the tax spending decisions will come next year but the chancellor will try and match rhetoric with money. he is also mindful of calls from labour and tory mps to help people make the transition onto universal credit. there is a lot of concern in the commons about that. but with no parliamentary majority and no certainty about the impact brexit will have on the economy, the chancellor is likely to be cautious rather than bold. ben wright, bbc news. this is the briefing from bbc news. the latest headlines: a passenger plane has crashed into the sea off the indonesian coast with 189 people on board. a sea rch—and—rescue operation is underway. the far—right candidate wins brazil's presidential election. jair bolsonaro promises to protect freedom and democracy. now it is time to look at the stories making the headlines across the world. we begin with the israel times, leading on the weekend's shooting at a synagogue in pittsburgh. it is the deadliest assa

if philip hammond wants to balance the books by the middle of the 2020s, he will have to cut spending taxes. the second thing is that this whole posterity thing, this is the labour party's agenda. this is what worried me about to reason mac's speech. if you look at the public spending figures, we are spending 800 billion per year, it is 38.5% of gdp. surely, this is an posterity. i prefer gdp. surely, this is an posterity. i p refer to gdp. surely, this is an posterity. i prefer to see it that this is normalising public expenditure after the slower edge —— the splurge in the slower edge —— the splurge in the 2000s. politicians don't think the 2000s. politicians don't think the way i think and i am alone in this. this has to be paid by taxation or something along those lines. the tax to gdp ratio is projected to be the highest since 1969 this year. come on! £800 billion is a lot of money. the ifs, highly respected, says that philip hammond will have to find 19 billion if the government will stick to that page. philip hammond must put his head in his hands every time theresa may makes a

i think he is also having a pop at philip hammond, the chancellor, as well, who spoke earlier today.0 billion by 2023 into the nhs, and what he is kind of floated, what philip hammond has floated over the la st philip hammond has floated over the last few weeks, it is that he will get taxes, particularly this being a freeze on tax duty for the last eight years, which could bring in lots of money. the freeze on fuel duty. the freeze on fuel duty, yeah. so they're looking down the silver for money here. what boris is saying is that we shouldn't look to ape corbyn, and it is agreed thatjeremy corbyn, and it is agreed thatjeremy corbyn give quite a good speech last week at the labour

and what tax could philip hammond put up that could philip hammond put up that could get through the commons, we have been talking about that and we cannot think about any. but this is the dream answer, to find this amount of money from nowhere. because tax receipts have been underestimated. that is the dream scenario. with all assumed he was not going to do any risky tax rises, this absolutely confirms, this undiscovered money. of course some conservatives in the party would say this is why we have low corporation tax because then you have these higher receipts. the anti—communist rhetoric is what the tories are trying to espouse. we have deceived the figures add up. the metro carries the story about plastic in our bodies. we have a lot of campaigns trying to reduce unnecessary use of elastic. and a p pa re ntly unnecessary use of elastic. and apparently we are all ingesting it is not just through fish apparently we are all ingesting it is notjust through fish but apparently we are all ingesting it is not just through fish but through the air, water, withers knows what else. and wit

how will philip hammond react to this? received from better than expected public finances, chosen to spend that money and this is a signal really of a direction of travel that the government wants to take in the future. now it is worth pointing out that there are still freezes and cuts working their way through the system and not all departments are benefiting from what was announced yesterday in the budget. labour as you heard calling it a budget of half measures and quick fixes. it is worth pointing out that the forecast on which this budget is based a smooth, orderly brexit deal, so all of this could unravel, given the outcome of the brexit negotiations. yes, there was loosening of purse strings but also an attempt to convince his party to back any negotiations and a deal that is agreed with brussels and as it is to signal to the public that there are better days to come. leila, thank you very much. we‘ll be speaking to the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell in a few minutes, and we‘ll talk to philip hammond just after 7:30

philip hammond has found himself embroiled in a spat over school spending after he announced an averagery schools, 10,000 for primary schools, and said this was a little extra which could go towards things like whiteboards or a minivan for schools. that has angered many in the education establishment, who say they need more than just a little extra. they need a significant amount of extra spending to, for example, employ more teachers. mr hammond has also caused a little bit of concern amongst dregs of tears by suggesting that in the event of no deal, that would be a shock to the economy. —— amongst the ranks of brexiteers. the government would be able to free up additional support. but if you listen to mr hammond this morning, it seems clear that he is linking the end of austerity with voting for a brexit deal. the budget that we put together and announced yesterday stands in its own out right. the measures i stands in its own out right. the measures | announced stands in its own out right. the measures i announced yesterday will go ahead whatever happens. but i am confident we will ge
