Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn launched into a furious attack on Tory MPs while calling for urgent social care funds.

His impassioned reaction came in response to Chancellor Philip Hammond’s Budget announcement.

Mr Hammond failed to mention any funding for social care or public sector pay, despite pressure from the opposition party and several of senior members of his own party.

Tory ministers jeered the Labour leader as he warned over a million elderly people are not receiving the care they need due to funding cuts.

Social care policy has been frozen since Ms May was forced to axe her election plans to make homeowners pay more for their care, after they were dubbed a ‘dementia tax’.

Shouting over the sounds of heckles from the Conservative benches, Mr Corbyn said: ‘Over a million of our elderly aren’t receiving the care they need.’

A Labour MP on his side of the House chipped in: ‘Nothing on social care.’

The Labour leader blasted: ‘Over £6billion will have been cut from social care budgets by next march.

‘I hope the honourable member begins to understand what it’s like to wait for social care, stuck in a hospital bed, while other people have to give up their work to care for them.

‘The uncaring, uncouth attitude of certain members of [unaudible] must be called out.

‘Mr Speaker, that is why social care budgets are so important for so many very desperate people in our country.’

In a big boost for people hoping to get on the housing ladder, Philip Hammond has abolished stamp duty for first-time buyers.

The move will affect buyers of homes valued up to £300,000, and £500,000 in London.

An extra three billion pounds has been set aside for Brexit while £2.8billion was pledged to the NHS in England – but there was no mention of a pay rise for nurses.
