- Some departments might be happy - with more money earmarked for defence, the NHS and schools - but other public services are set to lose out when the Government sets out its spending review next week.

One minister admitted ‘every part of society is struggling’ - putting Chancellor Rachel Reeves under pressure to balance the budget. And that's not good news for those facing a spending squeeze.

I'm guessing we all lose, except them, obviously.
Growth in national debt, growth in interest payments and growth in taxes.
unfortunately
Net debt of the UK as a % of GDBP has decreased. It went from 99% in Sep 2020, 98.4% in Nov 2021, 96.8% in 2023, 95.6% in July 2024, and now 95.5% in April 2025. Its decreasing but I dont think we will ever reach the 25% back in 1993. tough times. Taxes have been targeting businesses (larger ones), with a few that have impacted the working people too. We never really recovered from 2008, and I dont think we will for a very long time. I work in the finance sector, so I see a lot of these things first hand. The personal allowance tax thresholds being frozen for so long is disgusting and need changing, although it was conservative who initially supported it. I'm politically quite a centrist and honestly we need to stop the first past the post election system to get true representation, making our goverment work together for once instead of against eachother in a 2 party state.
@@PorkChopBatterthat is because how debt is NOW accounted for. So let's not deceive. Pensions liability of almost £1 Trillion is now not accounted as liability.
What taxes have increased? If you're not rich, then none of your taxes have changed
@@stevec6427freezing of the 12.5k tax free allowance that historically raises with inflation means a higher percentage of your income is paid in tax. The freezing of income tax brackets effects everyone but it harms lower earners more because they take a bigger hit in that a higher percentage of their income is now taxed
There’s one clear thing that should be cut but won’t be…
Yeah, garages claims of half a trillion unfunded tax cuts that he wants to do
Large taxation with spending cuts is utter madness. You cannot have both in a strong economy
The last time the economy was strong was in 2008 and at that time, spending was higher than now as a percentage of GDP. Taxes on the working classes and middle classes are higher than then (thanks to the tories) but much lower for the wealthiest and big business (not small or medium businesses)
@@stevec6427what 2008 the start of the worst recession in modern times 🙄
@@leemccccccc999 You mean the global recession that started in the US and hit every western country? There was significant recovery between the crash and the tories taking power and then total stagnation for 14 years
Only the political elite will be untouched.
And invaders
by 30bn into the NHS?
She always looks so happy, like they've achieved so much. 🤔🤔🤔
They have achieved one thing - uniting the country in their absolute disgust of them
If you loo at actual economic data, they have achieved more than the tories did
Spending other people's money makes Reeves happy!
Plenty money for the defence for ukraine for rhe rich but cuts cuts for rest of us
Dont forger thete importedfriends
They will increase hotel bills no doubt 😂
Not true.
Instead they are partnering with serco and spreading them out to communities all over the north and middle of England.
We asked them to close down the hotels and they said okay.
Be careful what we wish for next time I guess.
Every one of us loses with her in that job.
😂😂😂
Agreed. She is a tory
Tax avoidance loopholes still haven’t been closed.
What a load of nonsense to trust any politician.
Every time they talk about closing them, Reform and Conservatives kick off and Starmer loses his bottle. They've closed a few including the private school tax loophole and inheritance loopholes
The scariest part about al the negativity and incorrect opinions here - they probably think Farage is going to tax wealth and redistribute it, like he's some kind of decent strong-willed lefty fighting against the elite
My main concern is how to survive all of these financial and political crisis, especially in light of the US political power scuffle. The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can't sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance.
I totally agree with you. I've made over 220k this year...
All thanks to Kathy Jean Kappler my advisor. Getting to know her is the best thing that's ever happened to me
How can I go about this? I'm a newbie and don't have any investing knowledge 😢
kathy jean kappler is open and transparent with her clients. She makes profits for her clients and allows you to express your fears, that earned my respect. I don't normally comment on videos but yes she is really good.
Yeah, 198k from Mrs kappler, looking up to acquire a new house, blessings.
Knowing that "economist", the "solution will be "Tax, tax, tax more tax!"
Reeves :
Everything for me
Nowt for thee
Lee Howson:
Sources huh?
My brain goes duhhh
Why should we all suffer for what this government is doing to us.
What the Last government did to us, you mean tories
@fionamunro3381 away ye go 😂
Suffering what? What has got worse for you since the new government has come in to power? Absolutely nothing has changed for me. No tax changes, no rise in inflation, no new laws. Just no change really
Labour is the most saddest on going joke in history
You gonna ignore the 14 years of people voting tory? Considering all the problems we have now our from them
That would be reform
@@TheMonsterReapz
Cope harder - Reform will be the next Government, if we have a country left by then .
@@TheMonsterReapzwhere have you been?
@@Bucketbrain82Been up to date with real politics, not news headlines
Stop the boats would give you a lot more money.
It will make almost zero material difference. We spend a tiny amount of money on the matter in relation to the whole economy.
@@mwd331 Over 15 billion pounds per year and rising rapidly, all paid by the taxpayers. Hardly a tiny amount.
All will lose.. next question.
why not write out the percentage as an estimate to give the voters a better idea?
2.5% of our GDP right now would be £64 billion so how does the nhs get more at 30 billion as mentioned @ 0:43
Austerity.
I have an idea, stop giving millions to France to watch illegal immigrants leave for Britain , stop the foreign aid budget , stop this net zero nonsense that will make no difference. There you go billions saved.
net zero costs less than keeping the ever increasing fossil fuel stations thick un you are
Tax the Rich! Close offshore havens!
They're already gone
It is ok they're leaving!
Tax welfare!
@@allykhan8594 Yeah give out the money then go through all the administrative costs of collecting their taxes, sending the police to those who don't pay up increasing their responsibilities and even then recollect what you paid in the first place.
@@allykhan8594 Tax welfare? You serious?
The working people lose more taxes to pay for it
I can't remember last time a country attacked the UK, so why do we need all those billions in defence? Why increasing it year on year ?
Reform🇬🇧 pushed for winter fuel payment......And won👍👍👍
Bring back sugar, lower taxes, lower energy bills, stop with all this green energy nonsense and cut the umbilical cord to the EU....it's that F'ing simple.
Getting on for a year in power - how many of the 1,500,000 promised new houses have been built, how many of them are truly "affordable" and how many are social housing?
Come on Ange! must be close to 300,000 now if you're going to reach your manifesto promise.
😂😂 would have to build a house every two minutes to reach her absurd targets . The last Government couldn’t do it , this lot ain’t on that target either .
Speaking as someone who works in construction the building trade is suffering its biggest slump since the 2008 recession which was also a Labour government. I despise anyone who voted for them
Well, hopefully we can all expect that Chancellor woman to announce her RESIGNATION!🇬🇧
Chris Philp saying Reform UK is “Liz Truss on Steroids” when he was her right hand man is absolute cinema. Even so he’s not wrong their economics is quite that.
This is how the system works for the millionaires, billionaires and large corporations. They (millionaires, billionaires, and large corporations) donate, gift, and fund MPs and political parties to design policies and tax systems that allow and benefit them by paying less tax, avoiding tax, and pocketing that money. Then, using that untaxed money, they purchase more and more of the assets, such as stocks, gold, commodities, and real estate. For instance, they might invest in stocks of companies they own or buy up real estate, driving up housing prices. This allows them to take an increasingly larger share of the wealth, leaving ordinary people with little to nothing.
It’s time for us to unite against these greedy politicians, corporations, and wealthy billionaires. Together, we can close these loopholes and shape tax policy to ensure the rich and super-wealthy pay their fair share. It’s time to tax the rich. Tax wealth, not work.
Well we know you don’t give a damn about the children
That was clear when they covered up the Islamic rape gang enquiries.
We can expect to be fleeced
Tories not in charge anymore
Just more lies lies lies
That looks like Government ministers travelling first class on the train at public expense... there's a cost saving for starters.
Hopefully we won't have any more historic "2-Jags" at public expense and hopefully we won't have any more privileged them and us 2-teir travel, i.e. 1st class travel at public expense for Government ministers, and 2nd class for the rest of us. N.B. Seats with tables and power points can be reserved in second class also, where the plebs sit. The entourage will also be travelling in first class at public expense as well, so that they are in close proximity.
It reminds me of George Orwell's Animal Farm… "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others", and we have the privilege of paying for their privilege through our taxes!
" reform are now as trusted as the Government on the economy "
Reform must be quite depressed about that.
Labour trusted on the economy
How do you know when a politician is lying
His lips are moving,boom boom
Replace these politicians with AI.
Close Offshore,havens!!.Tax the Rich!!!!
Is she still a thing?
Are you?
You don't get the NHS waste a lot of money. I look forward to hearing about productivity agreements.
"The worst thing to happen to poor people in Britain, is that they've been made as greedy as rich people"- Gary Stevenson.
Old millionaire Gary 😂
@@user-ug8wx5er1wbut he left trading after making millions to be an activist. How many other millionaire traders do this? Did people say the same of the late and great Tony Benn? Not to my knowledge and he was a Lord before giving that up to serve the people (poor people).
So let me get this straight.
- Tax via VAT on private education which led to parent having to send kids to state schools
- NHS already takes 50% of GDP now taking more.
At this rate the goal is for there to be two classes the rich political class and the poor working class but at lest they have there NHs appointments lol
I won't trust her to give me the correct change, if she was in the correct job for her skill level.
How are you going to pay for it? You sending the boat people home? So british born people can have are service's back, school's hospitals, and hotels , and homes for british people and homeless, and guess what it will cut the crime rate cahsdd by your illegal friends.
Cut the subsidised food and drink in the HOC. Pack sandwiches like the rest of us and drink water . Save a fortune.
Let's take out the bars whilst we're at it. Cheapest pint in London too.

£3.56 for Carlsberg
Around £4.05 for a pint of standard lager (timeout guide)
incompetent
You can bet there spending review will be spending taxpayers money on stuff we do not need or is not a priority, it’s not there money that there wasting, it is our money, people seem to forget this 🤷♂️
This government is a disgrace.
As opposed to the last one that put us here? Like what? 😂🤡
Best chancellor since the great Gordon Brown.
😂
All services will lose simply because there’s less wealth for being created with Labour in charge. Hiring is down,productivity is down, business confidence is down ,millionaires have left the country and taken their wealth and wealth creation with them. Reeves had to fiddle growth figures by fudging the seasonal adjustment number.
We all know the MP`s will never lose out so that is one public service that is on a winner as for the rest who knows who she which one she will destory 🤨
Have you noticed Labour always say we get it.They don't get it .They are in such a mess
Poor Rach. She’s clearly out of her depth. Sadly it’s us that will pay the price for it.
But of course, because we let them get away with it.
OK Jim the drama queen 😂
@@dekmackie- English isn’t your first language then?
@@jimthompson9370 what makes your little brain think that? 🤔 😂
@@dekmackie- because your language is so inaccurate.
How many more times do we have to suffer her incompetence. We have had a budget and autumn statement. Spring statement and now a spending review . It is about time that this government got it together.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Rachel cut a few hundred million pounds of taxpayer money that goes to Channel 4
What do we expect? A note saying we have run out of money
I'm glad Reeves from HR is smiling, someone has to.
We can expect what we usually get wirh labour, tax and spend.
I vote Matt Frei never says "Feel the love" in a political broadcast ever again.
Thank you please
It will take years to fix this economy. The public seems to think a new government can just come into power and improve everything overnight.
I wonder if they have factored in another massive pay rise for the doctors and the billions in pension payments they will receive in the NHS
Just even higher taxes coming from these incompetent idiots.
Lower taxes help people out it's a struggle
REFORM UK 🇬🇧
Someone hasn't been paying attention to the news recently... Reform couldn't run a bath.
If Jeremy corbyn had become prime minister. The country would be booming by now and the rich would be paying for it for a change. Real change would be happening.
Blame the military for UK problems they refuse to stage a coup and oust the government and defend UK border
All except for MP`s who already have benefitted and lost nothing not like the working people of the UK and Lord Farquaad is so happy about it 🤮
Anyone's guess with this incompetent administration.
Spending review, why not have a SAVINGS REVIEW. Same old labour spend, spend, spend, then blame someone else when the bucket is empty. Labour has a history of of spending every penny and always come back for me. When do I get a pay rise 💷
She's got her eyes on the pensions, just what Brown done.
Priority is war for the first time in decades.
Starmer bringing the UK in to supply Ukraine for the next 100 years with the publics hard earned taxes is like a child using their parents credit card without their knowledge.
Same old same old tories. Hit the poor to pay for tax cuts for the rich no doubt.
What about the positives
What we will get is a chancellor who fails to understand how government finances work, who fails to understand that people with no money don't spend money, that tax doesn't pay for government spending (it can't as without first issuing money there would be nothing to pay tax from), that government create new money, there is no need to balance the books, that the supposed debt is to the Bank of England (which is nationally owned and controlled via the Bank of England Act by the Chancellor) is already balanced off when you take the asset held by the BoE and balance it against the liability held by the Treasury.
In other words what we will get will be lies, deceit, greater numbers in poverty and poorer national service organisations such as the NHS, police and local councils.
She needs to go !!
Let us hope defence gets a big increase.
Why?!
Oh the invasion
Didn't mind losing my WFP as long as there are no price increases on the SAGA winter Caribbean cruises. Just a couple more cruises and I get to sit at the captain's table. Now then, where's my bus pass, I'm off to the chippy for a pensioners special. Just Joking. Smile and have a nice day.

Oh No. The Accountant wanna be 'I'm an Economist' once again gets to shower her 'kiss of Death' on the British Economy. There will be total failures but of course it will all be blamed on the previous Government.

Still, trust her She's an Economist apparently !
