HM Treasury

We're the UK Government's economic and finance ministry. Our aim is to promote strong and sustainable economic growth.

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

The 2026 Budget will take place on Wednesday 28 October.

The government has said it will stick to its fiscal rules to support economic stability and provide certainty, while using the Budget to drive growth in every postcode and ease cost-of-living pressures.

Putin's war depends on money, oil revenues and the networks that help sustain them.

Today, the UK is imposing 38 new sanctions to disrupt those networks.

The message is simple: if you help Russia fund or equip this war, you will face the consequences.

What you need to know about changes to the state pension 👇

The most important one: it will keep rising every single year.

I want Britain to win! 🇬🇧

So every single day this week, I’m taking you for a walk with an iconic British founder.

The people behind some of the biggest businesses to come out of this country. How they started, what it took and why the UK is a place to build something extraordinary.

We spend a lot of time talking about what’s going wrong. This week, I want to show you what’s possible!

One of you is sitting on an idea that could become the next great British business. I want one of my walks to be the reason you finally start.

Follow @tarakeeney for a new founder every day this week. Let’s get Britain building ❤️‍🔥

We're cracking down on illicit vapes. From today, the new Vaping Products Duty and Vaping Duty Stamps Scheme are in effect.

Keep an eye out for the new duty stamps wherever you buy vapes; they're there to protect the high street and stamp out illegal trade.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury, @jamesmurray_ldn MP explains how the new duty works, and why it matters for cutting youth vaping in the UK.

No Stamp. No Sale.

From the cost of living to cost of business, the lasting answer is stronger growth. I welcome today's upward GDP revision, which means the UK had the fastest G7 growth so far this year

This is fragile with big global pressures, but we’ll keep driving for growth in every postcode

[Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ]

HMNB Clyde will receive three new floating docks through a UK-only competition.

Part of Programme Euston, the new facilities will enable crucial maintenance for the UK’s current and future fleet of nuclear submarines, allowing essential upgrades and repairs to be carried out.

[UK Prime Minister @10DowningStreet]

If you don't have help from the bank of Mum and Dad, this is for you:

This government is introducing the Your First Home scheme to help more young people buy their first home with a deposit of just 2.5%.

That means less to save upfront, and lower monthly costs once you’ve got the keys.

And this help is coming soon, with pre-registration set to open by the end of the year.

This #NationalManufacturingDay, we're celebrating the best of British - and the home of Henry.

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

Good to speak with @SecScottBessent today about stepping up pressure on Iran and how we work together to drive growth in both our nations. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

[Cabinet Office @cabinetofficeuk]

Manchester has been selected to host world leaders for the G20 Summit in November 2027.

This Summit will bring together the world’s largest economies and seize opportunities for British people and businesses.

South Wales’ semiconductor cluster is one of the UK’s biggest high-tech success stories - reindustrialisation happening in real time.

It’s creating high-skilled jobs and building the industries of the future.

@WalesOffice @SKinnock

[Emma Reynolds for Wycombe 🌹 @EmmaforWycombe]

Last week in Newport I saw first-hand how Britain's reindustrialisation is taking shape.

Backed by UK Government investment, South Wales is developing the semiconductors that power AI, advanced manufacturing, clean energy and defence. This is reindustrialisation in action.

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

The war in the Middle East is impacting on inflation worldwide. Not just here at home.

Restoring hope won’t happen overnight, but our early action to cut tax on electricity bills, cap bus fares and cut business rates for pubs, clubs and music venues is providing breathing space.

[John Healey @JohnHealey_MP]

Our growth, though still fragile, was the fastest in the G7 in the first half of the year.

While the conflict in the Middle East is affecting costs at home, Britain’s economy is demonstrating resilience.

We’re shifting power to local areas and backing business to drive growth.

[Lucy Rigby KC MP @LucyRigby]

Economic abuse can devastate lives.

Abusers weaponise anything they can, including insurance, to maintain control over victims – trapping victims in policies they want to leave or cancelling the policies they depend on.

That’s why new guidance from the ABI, working with @SEAresource is so important. It will help identify & tackle economic abuse, & allow victim-survivors to be better supported.

The guidance is an important milestone in the delivery of @hmtreasury’s Financial Inclusion Strategy - of which tackling economic abuse is a core aim.

See @standardnews’ write-up of our launch of the guidance here 👉 https://t.co/YoUs5ixGIM

[Emma Reynolds for Wycombe 🌹 @EmmaforWycombe]

On Monday @JohnHealey_MP set out how we will deliver good growth in every postcode. The UK is cutting our deficit faster than any G7 country as fiscal stability goes hand in hand with growth. That's why the PM and Chancellor wrote to Cabinet to say we must live within budgets.

Yesterday I set out the next chapter in Britain's growth story.

One that backs greater devolution to regional leaders, alongside a more effective, active state.

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

Britain’s next chapter - built on growth.

Built in more places across Britain and backed by a state that backs businesses and regional leaders to succeed.
