What choices did the government make in the 2025 spending review?

Join IfG experts for instant analysis of the 2025 spending review – a critical moment for Keir Starmer’s government.

Were the spending allocations sufficient to improve public services, deliver growth and make progress on the government’s other missions? Which departments will be pleased – and which lost out? And did this multi-year spending review reveal a coherent strategy for the government over the next few years?

To answer these questions and more, IfG experts convened shortly after the chancellor’s announcement to provide their initial analysis.

The webinar was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government, with a panel including:

• Nick Davies, Programme Director for Public Services at the Institute for Government
• Ben Paxton, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government
• Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government
