📊 #IFSSatStat: Public service spending will be the Chancellor’s key Budget challenge. While day-to-day departmental spending is set to grow by 2.4% in real terms this year, this will drop to an average of 1% over 2028–29 to 2030–31, making existing plans harder to deliver.

Really pleased to make my debut on @theifs.bsky.social podcast with @helenmiller.bsky.social & @beeboileau.bsky.social. We get into the huge uncertainty around the OBR forecast, why the real story is the pressure on public spending, and even manage to sneak in a discussion on PuFins (not the birds!)
