The Chancellor is anticipated to give attention to “Britain’s renewal” as she units out her spending plans for the approaching years, with massive will increase for the NHS, defence and colleges.

Arguing that the Government is “renewing Britain”, she’s going to acknowledge that “too many people in too many parts of the country are yet to feel it”.

She will say: “This Government’s task – my task – and the purpose of this spending review is to change that, to ensure that renewal is felt in people’s everyday lives, their jobs, their communities.”
