You probably caught some of the budget announcement today... if not, you'll certainly see it in the papers tomorrow! 

In particular, the Budget focuses on tackling two of the big issues of today - child poverty and climate change -alongside continuing investment in education and providing extra help for pensioners. I am proud to announce key measures to:

• help lift 250,000 children out of poverty on our path to eradicating all child poverty;

• build a low carbon Britain by giving incentives for people to make green choices;

• an extra £200 million invested over the next three years to bring forward Labour's ambition for no school to have fewer than 30 per cent of its pupils achieving five A*-C grades at GCSE;

•give an extra boost of £50 to over 60's households and £100 for over 80's households on top of the Winter Fuel Payment, benefiting nine million pensioner households.

Labour's choice: Fairness and opportunity for everyone in Britain to secure a strong, sustainable future.
