When is the spending review 2025 and what will it announce?
The NHS, schools and defence are rumoured to be the biggest winners of Rachel Reeves' spending review when she makes her announcement later on this week.
The Chancellor is expected to outline a £113 billion funding boost to schools, the NHS, transport, defence and the police in her upcoming spending plan.
The review is very different from the budget as Reeves won't be announcing any changes to how the Treasury raises cash. She can only allocate the cash it has, or knows it is going to get.
The government sets out its spending plans every few years at spending reviews, with the most recent review taking place at 2021.
Reeves will make the spending announcement on Wednesday, June 11 at about 12.30pm from the House of Commons shortly after the weekly Prime Minister's Questions.

Earlier today, it was report the Home Office was the last department to agree on a budget.

It came after two senior government watchdogs wrote to the Prime Minister and urged for more funding to be allocated if the government wants to achieve its promise to cut violence against women and girls in half. More Trending
Police chiefs have put pressure on the government, saying talking about being 'tough on crime' is not 'enough.'
'There must be funding to match,' Police Superintendents' Association Nick Smart, and Tiff Lynch, acting national chairman for the Police Federation of England and Wales, said.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's official spokesman said: 'The spending review is settled, we will be focused on investing in Britain's renewal so that all working people are better off.
'The first job of the Government was to stabilise the British economy and the public finances, and now we move into a new chapter to deliver the promise and change.'

Two arrests after Palestine Action claims blocking Israeli defence firm UK site
It comes ahead of proposed legislation that will ban the group under anti-terror law. Avon and Somerset Police said a 30-year-old woman and a 36-year-old man, both from London, have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, unauthorised entry to a prohibited place and locking onto a person, object or land to cause serious disruption. Earlier on Tuesday, a Palestine Action spokesperson said activists had blocked the entrance to Elbit Systems in Bristol, and covered it in red paint 'to symbolise Palestinian bloodshed'. Avon and Somerset Police said officers were called to the site at around 6.30am. A spokeswoman said: 'Two people have been arrested following a small protest outside a premises at the Aztec West Business Park, in Almondsbury. 'They remain in police custody and inquiries are ongoing. 'We're committed to facilitating people's right to peaceful protest, but will not tolerate any criminal behaviour.' The incident comes as a draft order was laid before Parliament on Monday to amend the Terrorism Act 2000 to include Palestine Action as a proscribed organisation. If approved, it would become a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison to be a member of the direct action group or to support it. MPs and peers are expected to debate the legislation on Wednesday and Thursday and, if approved, the ban could come into force by Friday. A Palestine Action spokesperson said: 'While the Government is rushing through Parliament absurd legislation to proscribe Palestine Action, the real terrorism is being committed in Gaza. 'Palestine Action affirms that direct action is necessary in the face of Israel's ongoing crimes against humanity of genocide, apartheid, and occupation, and to end British facilitation of those crimes.' The group also occupied the rooftop of UK subcontractor Guardtech Group, the spokesperson added. Officers are also at the scene at the site in Brandon, Suffolk. A Suffolk Police spokesman said: 'Officers and specialist negotiators are currently at the location and our immediate priority is to bring this to a conclusion and to ensure the safety of everyone at the scene.' Palestine Action is seeking a legal challenge against the Government's bid to proscribe it, with a hearing expected on Friday to decide whether the ban can be temporarily blocked, pending further proceedings to decide whether a legal challenge can be brought. Commenting on the proscription on Monday, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: 'The right to protest and the right to free speech are the cornerstone of our democracy and there are countless campaign groups that freely exercise those rights. 'Violence and serious criminal damage has no place in legitimate protests.'

AstraZeneca CEO wants to move listing to the US
The long-serving chief executive of AstraZeneca, Britain's most valuable public company, would like to move the stock market listing to the United States, according to multiple sources. Sir Pascal Soriot has spoken privately of his preference to move the FTSE 100 company's listing on a number of occasions and has even discussed moving AstraZeneca's domicile, according to a source familiar with his thinking. They added that Soriot, 66, was likely to face resistance from parts of the board should he push for such a move, as well as the British government. The government is not believed to have been informed. Soriot, who has led AstraZeneca since 2012, has spoken publicly of his concerns at how Europe has fallen behind the US and China, the company's two largest markets, in innovating new medicines.
