Budget 2023: How do you reignite the British economy?

In his first full budget since his appointment as Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt is expected to make a surprise announcement to help with the cost of childcare, part of a package of initiatives to get more people to return to the workforce. 

Efforts to encourage the over-50s, the long-term sick and the disabled back into the workplace are also likely to form key planks of the budget.

Our Deputy Political Editor Sam Coates reports.

Get rid of Hunt. He destroyed the NHS and now he's going for the country.

Sack Hunt He’s Used To Failing Whatever Position Held Holds In Government?

They are not Engineers. They are technicians.
Learn the difference Sky news.

A good start would be to vote out the government that has spent 13 years making the economy progressively worse.

Kick the Torries out of office ! That’s how we start to fix our problems !

[stonelane]

Simple stop all the profit before service companies. Energy, health, transport and education should be a full reinvestment industry 90% of "profits" should be returned to the sector to improve and advance the services. In less than a decade we will have a booming economy again. Or we can continue to sell everything off to the highest bidder, watch the rich get richer while the rest of us starve and freeze.

Engineers have an engineering degree, which is just a little more difficult to obtain than learning how to file a piece of metal to tolerance.

By ignoring unhinged fanatical idealogues like Redwood and Rees-Mogg

[monkeyboy]

No doubt the Hunt chancellor's budget will empower the rich even more - billionaire Sunak's chums.

Labour shortages are in reality "wage paying shortages". It's not that people aren't willing to work. It's that they aren't willing to be exploited. Hence the strikes. Companies aren't willing to pay people what they should be earning. Yet they are recording recording record profits!

meh. im not interested in full time work anymore.

Give Dave a set of spoons and let him rock!

[hello-nzhy]

Lower taxes and give people the incentive to get rich. British people are moving to Dubai to make money. Let the people eat!

[Abraham_Tsfaye]

When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere.
Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets. It's a sad declined country

[kristoforlearmonth]

Make so foods like beef and chicken free! Because if everyone is living out a tin there won't be a workforce left

[mrmeldrew]

Really rich folk who can pump 50K a year into pensions can save paying more 50K gross and get smashed back into your box with 40%

The worst mistake France made is to provide such economy when it is better to stay jobless. Don't make such a mistake. The psychic state of people is better when there is still a will to improve oneself and work rather than stay at home. Now France is straggling in the worst ever situation with strikes because no one want to work
