Caroline Hepker: 英国财政大臣Rachel Reeves将公布政府支出和投资计划，旨在促进经济增长。该计划将决定未来三年的政府部门预算，并可能额外分配1130亿英镑用于投资。 Rachel Reeves: 我认为政府应该在促进经济增长中发挥积极作用，通过创造就业、提高工资、减少贫困来可持续地资助公共服务。与保守党不同，我相信一个积极的政府，而不是放任自流。 James Wilcock: 政府将宣布1130亿英镑的资本支出，其中390亿用于住房，150亿用于铁路。然而，大部分基础设施投资将用于伦敦以外的地区，并且可能会裁减十分之一的公务员职位以提高效率。如果卫生部门获得大幅增长，其他部门可能会面临两位数的百分比削减。财政大臣Rachel Reeves现在和前财政大臣Kwasi Kwarteng一样不受欢迎，这表明工党需要一个复兴计划。工党认为政府在推动经济增长中发挥积极作用，今天的支出审查将揭示政府的优先事项。如果政府大手大脚花钱，秋季可能会不可避免地增加税收。
