The chancellor will release £39bn for affordable housing, saying the money is “the biggest boost to social and affordable housing in a generation.”

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.

Most of Wednesday’s newspaper front pages lead with today’s Spending Review, set to be released this afternoon. The papers lead with the reports already out in press including almost £40 billion reportedly set aside for housing and a massive £86 billion package for science and tech. 

Beyond the spending review, there’s some coverage of the mass school shooting in Austria – with at least 10 dead and many injured. There’s some coverage of Gaza as Greta Thunberg speaks out about being detained and deported by Israel and the UK has issued sanctions against two far-right Israeli ministers for their comments over Gaza.
