we're a week out from the chancellor's
0:01
much anticipated spending review the
0:03
biggest economic setpiece moment since
0:05
the spring statement in March here's
0:07
what we know so far the spending review
0:09
is all about deciding which funding goes
0:11
where it's a moment for the government
0:12
to allocate which departments get what
0:14
for the next few years so ministers are
0:16
in a frenzy vying for money to cover
0:18
project and day-to-day costs the big
0:20
winners are expected to be the NHS
0:22
defense and perhaps less glamorously
0:25
local transport the government has
0:27
promised 15.6 6 billion pounds to
0:30
regional transport systems and just a
0:32
month after Labour and the Tories alike
0:34
received a comprehensive drubbing from
0:35
reform at the local elections Kier
0:38
Starmer will be hoping that this cash
0:39
injection will help win back crucial
0:41
support in Labor's 2024 Heartlands the
0:43
PM has also vowed to increase UK defense
0:46
spending to 2.5% of GDP though experts
0:49
say he should commit to 3% if he's
0:51
serious about being battle ready and the
0:53
Institute of Fiscal Studies announced
0:54
that they expect the NHS to grab a major
0:56
share of spending with the Department
0:58
for Health having the highest day-to-day
1:00
costs however if Defense and Healthcare
1:02
get the biggest possible share of
1:04
funding the IFS says all other
1:06
departments would face cuts of up to
1:07
1.8% a year reeves has styled herself as
1:10
the responsible penny pinched parent who
1:12
has to make sure there's enough money to
1:14
go around she confirmed today that not
1:16
every department will get everything
1:17
they want it looks like education the
1:19
home office and energy could be in
1:21
trouble however Reef says there's enough
1:23
to go around because of major tax hikes
1:25
in October's budget in turn the spending
1:27
review will be allocating 300 billion
1:29
pounds more than was set out in the
1:31
plans that the Labor government
1:32
inherited the Tories have taken a range
1:34
of attack lines on Labor's direction
1:36
slamming Reeves plans as being both
1:38
lightweight and a copypaste version of
1:40
their own 2023 costings it remains to be
1:43
seen who wins this political comm's
1:44
battle for everything you need to know
1:46
