British Finance Minister Rachel Reeves has delivered Labour's first budget since 2010, after the party's return to power in July's general election.
She announced tax rises worth £40bn, which she argued would rebuild public services and stabilise the public finances.
Her biggest cash commitment was an additional £32.5bn for the country's National Health Service, which has seen waiting lists rise to record levels in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
