Photo of Starmer and Reeves on a train with open laptop computer, headed: Chancellor of the Exchequer of Little Britain takes a principled stance Starmer speech bubble: Let me get this straight, Rachel, these cutbacks are NOT austerity? Reeves speech bubble: Treasury computer says “No” Keir.
Getting people back to work is crucial, but the system needs to protect those who can’t & help those who can. The #SpringStatement2025 feels like a panic reaction to a declining economic outlook and I worry it's the most vulnerable that will suffer.

The Chancellor could get lucky, or could easily find that further fiscal action is needed in Autumn Budget.
2025 could yet see further tax raising measures being announced.

"There is a good chance that economic and fiscal forecasts will deteriorate significantly between now and an Autumn Budget. If so, she will need to come back for more; which will likely mean raising taxes even further."

Chart shows biggest welfare saving fiscal events (policy measures targeted at working-age and children). Title states: "£4.2 billion benefit cut is large by recent historical standards, but smaller than those in some fiscal events from 2010 to 2015."
Today it was confirmed that the changes to welfare represent a £4.2bn net saving by 2029-30 (2025-26 prices).
This is large by recent historical standards, but smaller than those seen at several fiscal events in the first half of the 2010s.
