Exclusive: Britain’s welfare bill is set to continue to rise even after Andy Burnham’s reforms next year. *Burnham is planning a new welfare bill to cut benefits early next year - probably at the start of a new parliamentary session in April *Around the same time, ministers will announce the Milburn reforms to encourage young people back to work and improvements to disability benefits *The fiscal scorecard for these changes will not be published until the Spending Review later in the year *Under current plans, the upfront cost of Milburn reforms will outweigh any benefit savings for at least two financial years *This means the overall welfare budget will not see any savings until 2030 at the earliest *This timeline pushes back any savings (and reallocation of money eg for defence) until well after the next election Story: telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…

The U.S. economy is expanding thanks to @POTUS’ proactive trade policies, deregulation, and pro-growth provisions in the Working Families Tax Cuts. Revised GDP data show stronger growth in Q1 and Q2 of 2026, driven in part by greater consumer spending and investment. Forecasters expect that momentum to build in Q3. The Trump Administration is delivering on its promises by restoring durable growth, unleashing investment, and powering the reindustrialization of the American economy.
