💨 Abstract

UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves has ruled out tax increases in next week's spring statement, instead announcing sweeping cuts in civil service running costs and welfare savings. She aims to balance the books amid disappointing growth figures, while promising investment in public services and frontline workers. The government expects 15% cuts in government department running costs by 2029, equating to £2 billion in savings.
