UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves presented a spending review aimed at “national renewal,” securing a £29bn annual boost for the NHS while imposing cuts on several other departments, including the Home Office and Foreign Office. With plans for £113bn in capital projects over the next few years, Reeves emphasized investments in the north and midlands, alongside a £2bn increase in the schools budget and a commitment to improve infrastructure. Opposition Conservative Sir Mel Stride criticized the review, warning of future tax rises and questioning Reeves’ control over public finances.
