The Starmer Years - Can The New Broom Sweep Clean?

[Sir Ralph]

Delving into the OBR's economic forecast, the UK's official forecaster says welfare spending is expected to rise this year by some £18bn to a total bill of £333bn.

The OBR estimates the bill will rise by an average of £11bn a year, to reach £406bn in 2030-31 and swell to 11.2% of the total size of the UK economy.

To put this into context we spend 4% of GDP on education (which I believe decreased last year). Prioritising state reliance rather than education which facilities independence from the state.
