You’d be forgiven for thinking spending reviews are all about numbers on spreadsheets and, in many ways, that’s true enough. But the soul of this week’s iteration is a chance to deliver on the change people voted for.
I’m deeply proud that the 2025 spending review confirms that this Labour government will spend more per pupil on schools than at any other time in this country’s history. At a time of tough choices and competing demands, it speaks volumes that the chancellor has chosen to prioritise education. The message is clear: we’re investing in Britain’s renewal and that means investing in Britain’s children.
