Prime Ministers New Years message: 31 December 2023
Happy New Year, everyone. I hope you had a great Christmas.
We can look back on a pretty momentous year. Weve delivered record funding for the NHS and social care. Schools in England are surging up the global league tables.
Were getting the economy growing. Weve cut inflation in half. Weve delivered the biggest business tax cut in modern British history.
And in just the last few weeks, weve seen an incredible 60 billion of investment into the UK. So my New Years resolution is to keep driving forward. In six days time, well deliver a tax cut for 27 million people, worth on average 450.
Inflation is set to fall further, cutting the cost of living for everyone. And were not stopping there.
Were going further to grow our economy by reducing debt, cutting taxes, and rewarding hard work, building secure supplies of energy here at home, backing British business and delivering world class education. And were taking decisive action to stop the boats and break the business model of the criminal gangs.
From our incredible armed forces and NHS staff who take care of all of us. To our tech experts, scientists and innovators who are putting our economy at the global cutting edge.
We should look forward full of pride and optimism for what we can do together to build a brighter future for everyone. Thats what Im determined to do, and I wish y
