How to read this atlas01 — EVERYDAY LIFE

Start with the atlas records grouped under household costs, work, homes, energy and travel, tax, and public services. Browse by topic or open the full everyday-life set in the 2D ledger.
EVERYDAY-LIFE TOPICS
—atlas records
WIDER CONTEXT · — MORE RECORDS
Business, cross-cutting, defence and public-finance topics stay available because they can have wider or indirect effects. Open the full atlas to include them.
Topic labels are browsing aids inferred from source titles and linked narrative; they do not establish who benefits, pays or is affected. Counts are atlas records, not unique policy totals. Each record keeps its source status, uncertainty and evidence links.
02 — HEADLINE DECISIONS
Budget at a glance
Four selected measures from the HMT scorecard. Choose one to open its record, fiscal profile and linked evidence.
BUS FARES · ENGLAND OUTSIDE LONDON
£2 single fare cap
Bus Fares
For one year from 1 January 2027. The scorecard says it will be funded by reprioritising DESNZ budgets.
SOCIAL & AFFORDABLE HOMES
£1.5bn further funding
Homes programme uplift
The source links this funding to around 10,000 additional homes and more than £40bn of capital investment over 10 years.
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
20% reduction by 2029–30
Administration budgets
Compared with a 16% reduction in Spending Review 2025 plans. The HMT row records £595m as a 2029–30 saving or receipt.
These are selected HMT Table 6.1 decision rows, not a complete Budget summary. The rows do not state legal status or an uncertainty rating; their fiscal entries and linked evidence remain separately inspectable.

04 — EVIDENCE & LIMITS
A map of what the sources say.
It keeps announcement status, costings, forecasts and interpretation in separate lanes. Missing links stay visible as review work.
HMT Table 6.1 decisions, each paired with its OBR October measure record.
HMT costing notes with exact or manually verified links. Other links remain unresolved.
Budget narrative blocks retained as source evidence; overlapping records are not added as new policies.
OOTLAR Table 1 records retain HMRC’s “no corresponding Budget report announcement” status.
Different records, different jobs
HMT 6.1 fiscal scores, HMT 6.2 financial-transaction cash flows, HMT 6.4 earlier measures and OBR forecast components are shown separately. Values are not merged into one total.
Effects have evidence boundaries
Where a source does not quantify a direct or secondary effect, the record says “not quantified in the sources reviewed.” That does not mean the effect is zero.
Distribution has limited coverage
HMT’s household analysis covers selected first-order effects. It excludes many business, regulatory, behavioural, employer-tax and supply-side channels.
