💨 Abstract

Police chiefs in the UK secured a real-terms budget increase from Chancellor Rachel Reeves after warning of potential service cuts. The decision follows intense discussions with Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and concerns over handling crimes and early prisoner releases. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner also finalized spending plans amid fears of cuts to housing and council budgets. Additionally, 10 million pensioners will learn soon if winter fuel payments will be reinstated.
