Rachel Reeves’s Spring Statement – live analysis and commentary

Will anything major be announced during the Spring Statement?

Rachel Reeves isn’t expected to make any major policy announcements as her preference is to do this just once a year at the Budget.

However, the chancellor did confirm some big changes to the benefits system in the 2025 Spring Statement, although some of these were reversed later in the year.

Good afternoon and welcome to MoneyWeek’s Spring Statement live report. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is set to deliver the statement to the House of Commons tomorrow (3 March). We will be covering all the major announcements as they happen, as well as bringing you reaction and analysis.
