Spending Review: ‘It’s going to be ugly’ say Whitehall insiders

Summary

75% Informative

Spending Review is the last big set of decisions before the next general election.

It's an open secret in Westminster billions will be found for health and defence.

But the chancellor and her deputy, Darren Jones , are locked in conversations with Cabinet ministers.

Some departments whose budgets are gobbled up by providing public services will feel the heat.

Ministers will always want more for their departments and when money is tight, it's not surprising the process is fraught.

Some in government even say, "there is a lot of fat and waste", suggesting some cuts have been easy to find.

There is hope in senior circles that the review, together with big infrastructure plans, can be used to create a summer of good news.
