5 takeaways from Andy Burnham’s first budget

Andy Burnham, who became Prime Minister of the UK 100 days ago, presented a budget that indicates a gradual approach to reform rather than an immediate end to neoliberalism. The budget, titled "breathing space for today, fresh hope for the future," serves as a preliminary step towards more significant commitments in the future. Chancellor John Healey announced 98 changes, including assistance for rising energy bills and a £10 billion defense package for Ukraine amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
