Budget 2018: Hard work has paid off, chancellor insists


Philip Hammond
Philip Hammond has declared the era of austerity is "finally coming to an end" as he delivered the biggest giveaway budget since 2010.
The chancellor, unveiling his last budget before Brexit, told the House of Commons the UK would see "resilient" growth in the years to come as he revealed upgraded growth forecasts from next year.
Mr Hammond told MPs his plans will help "the strivers, the grafters and the carers" and would pave the way for a "brighter future".
He claimed the "hard work" of the British people over the decade since the financial crisis is "paying off".
However, Labour attacked the chancellor's "half measures and quick fixes" and stressed "austerity grinds on".
