Police to Get Above-Inflation Boost After 11th-Hour Spending Review Wrangling
- On Wednesday, Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to reveal the Labour government's detailed spending allocations for UK departments over the next three years.

- Key allocations include up to £30 billion extra for the NHS, a £4.5 billion boost for schools over three years, and defence spending rising to 2.5% of GDP from 2027.

- The review suggests budget reductions for certain unprotected government sectors, including the Home Office, to accommodate increased spending on the NHS and defence, raising concerns about the impact on other public services and commitments.
