  3. "Rachael Reeves’ changes to fiscal rules — now much looser than first indicated when the party entered office – allow much more scope for an activist, investing state than before, because her new measure of national debt places much greater value on assets held by the state – such as public-sector stakes in private firms."

  7. This chart of changing priorities from spending review to spending review over the last quarter of a century is an interesting, contextualisation of Rachel Reeves announcement(s) this week....

    The Institute for Government report from which this is taken offers a range of other useful insights & is worth ten minutes of your time this weekend.

  11. "On we went. Contrary to what Reeves had said, it was his [Paul Johnson] view that the economic forecasts and the public finances had not improved over the last year. He waited to be convinced otherwise. Anyone any ideas? No. Case closed." #UKPOL #Reeves #ISF #SpendingReview

    There are some good things in the Spending Review. I think the focus on investment is welcome.

    But you know what's missing from all the coverage?

    Adult social care.

    Seriously, they're never going to fix the NHS unless they can fix that first.

    If you read the small print, it says they're waiting for the result of the review, and have allocated an extra £4bn in 2028-2029.

    Doesn't sound like a lot of money considering the scale of the task.

  17. So I was listening to a discussion of the Spending Review on the radio yesterday, and one commentator (I think it was probably Paul Johnson?) said that one problem with it was that there was absolutely no wiggle room, so if the economy started to perform even slightly worse than predicted, then we're going to be looking at some serious tax rises in the autumn budget.

    Oops.

  23. A major problem lies at the heart of Rachel Reeves' spending review;

    Whatever one thinks of the spending, she's trying to square the circle of Dept.'s losing budget(s), by pointing to 'efficiency gains' that can (still) be made, not least by deploying more AI across the public sector.

    Anyone who has worked in a complex organisation that has put 'efficiency gains' at the centre of budgeting constraints knows that it seldom delivers, leaving just declines in service delivery

  28. So now we are waiting to see how the headline figures in Rachel Reeves' spending review will play out... although its already pretty clear that for the Dept.s that lost out, the sorry tale of austerity will continue.

    Given, the world of declaratory politics that we seem to live in, even the headline figures may end up being less than it currently appears.... but first we'll enter the process of plural announcements that will (my guess is) bleed out the detail.
