My plan for economic growth is built from the talents and efforts of tens of millions of working people and businesses across the country. 

It’s a plan where everyone feels better off, not just a few at the top. 

But if there’s one thing my career as an economist for the Bank of England taught me, it’s that none of this is achievable without a stable and secure economy. 

Your sums have always got to add up.

That’s why everything I do as Chancellor will be built on the bedrock of economic stability and financial responsibility. 

I will never, ever, play fast and loose with the public finances or family finances. 

After 14 years of chaos and instability, I know just how high the stakes are for working people. 

There’s so much potential and talent here in Britain – I know it won’t be an easy task, but our best days can be ahead of us.

As Chancellor, I will work every day to build a stronger economy that works for working people.
