chancellor's argument on Wednesday in what is known as her Spring Statement.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">The Conservatives are branding it an "emergency Budget", which ministers insist is nonsense, but it is certainly true it is a bigger event than it was expected to be just a few months ago.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">We won't see Rachel Reeves standing on the steps of 11

general election, they said the first of their "missions" was to "kickstart economic growth".</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">The thing is, there isn't any - the economy is flatlining.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">Plus, inflation is up and government borrowing costs are up.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">Then there are the big-picture challenges: the UK has an ageing population, the benefits bill is going skywards, the dangerous international picture is demanding more money for defence and the country is saddled with huge debt, which attracts huge debt interest payments.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">Add to that the wild unpredictability of US President Donald Trump, the looming prospect of tariffs and the vast uncertainty over Ukraine's future and European security.</p><ul class="sc-5c9c90b0-0 ggNdZQ"><li class="sc-8d73edac-0 ezcCTE"><a target="_self" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/crmj0zxk7wyt" class="sc-c9299ecf-0 kNHAVz">Follow Spring

These are unprecedented times, where strategic decisions for the sake of our country's security cannot be ducked."</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">Smashing manifesto promises is not something governments do lightly and Labour would tread particularly carefully around these flagship pledges on the economy, so often for many a perceived weak spot in the party's credibility.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">The tax burden, on average, is also generationally high – another reason these ideas could be a mighty hard sell even if ministers were willing to break their promises.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">And if ideas from their own side, like these three, aren't palatable, all of which make an already big State even bigger, there are those suggested by the Conservatives and others.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ"></p></div><div data-component="subheadline-block" class="sc-18fde0d6-0 eeiVGB"><h2 class="sc-518485e5-0 DkKTF">Reducing benefit spending</h2></div><div data-component="text-block" class="sc-18fde0d6-0 dlWCEZ"><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ"> Cutting benefits much more is one such idea.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">The former Conservative and UKIP MP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03/22/my-plan-to-get-britain-back-on-track-growth-services-border/" class="sc-c9299ecf-0 beIoQm">Douglas Carswell, writing in the Telegraph, suggested closing eight government departments</a>, saving £24bn by cutting the public sector workforce and instituting a two year public sector pay freeze.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">He reckoned these ideas alongside others could cut government spending from 45% of national income to 40%.</p><p class="sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fezwLZ">Many of these might not be instantly palatable to a Labour government, just like those from their own side, but all of this brings us back to where we began: has the world changed?
