RACHEL Reeves is set to unveil an enormous spending spree, including bringing back winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners.
The chancellor is expected to also commit funds for free school dinners and defence in her spending review later today.
Her announcement will explain how roughly £600bn will be spent over the next few years, but there have been varying reports of what exactly Ms Reeves will include.
It’s important to note that spending reviews are different to budgets – with the chancellor’s statement showing how the government intends to spend, rather than explain the state of the nation’s finances.
Last week, it was confirmed that police chiefs would have an increase to their budgets, after battling with the chancellor over fears of cuts to services.
And, in perhaps the biggest U-turn for this government so far, nine million pensioners will now receive winter fuel payments this year – after they were controversially axed last July.
Spending reviews typically take place every few years, and we will find out exactly what Ms Reeves has committed funds for when she makes her announcement in the House of Commons at around 12.30pm today.
