Ooo, irrelevant Jeremy Corbyn reference spotted. Seems there was enough money in the tree for buying votes from Unionists and chucking money at Tory backers flogging over-priced, substandard PPE, but what would I know about that last bit? I'm only an Intensive Care Nurse who had to throw away boxes and boxes of junk PPE during the pandemic...
On your question though, how about raising Corporate Taxes and others to comparable rates to those in other G7 countries and or comparable OECD countries? As it is the UK government seems to be trying to make up for the self-imposed sanctions of Brexit by turning these islands into another tax-haven.
Perhaps if more tax was raised some more money could be thrown at Defence as well as Health, the latter which has the 2nd lowest funding per capita in the G7, btw.
But "boo Corbyn" etc, eh?
