The Spending Review leads Wednesday’s newspaper front pages with the left-leaning press celebrating the investment into the country – including billions of pounds being put into social housing and the NHS. Almost £90 billion is set to go to science and tech and the U-turn on winter fuel is continuing to be praised. There’s a more cautious and sceptical tone from the right-leaning press who see the chancellor’s U-turn on winter fuel as evidence she is unable to do her job – and in regards to the spending review, they are concerned about how the country will pay for the investments, suggesting tax rises are set for the Autumn budget.
