Twitter reaction to Philip Hammond's Budget statement
Politicians and commentators were quick to react as Philip Hammond delivered his Autumn Budget.
After the Chancellor announced £3 billion would be set aside for Brexit cost, many across the other side of the House responded with incredulity.
Opposition MPs laughing when Chancellor says our debt has "peaked" completely delusional #Budget17

Yup - I did hear it right - no red bus £350 million for the NHS... instead a #Brexit BILL for £3 BILLION!!! #Budget2017@Open_Britain

So another £3 billion set aside for wasteful and unnecessary Wrexit preparations. Money that could be spent instead on our schools and NHS. They promised us billions if we left EU. Reality is the opposite.

Another £300,000,000 for the hated HS2? On top of the £100,000,000,000+ it's going to cost already? :/ #budget2017#StopHS2pic.twitter.com/bRZGlKXSUr
