Public sector finances, UK: August 2025

James Murray, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, said:

“This Government has a plan to bring down borrowing because taxpayer money should be spent on the country's priorities, not on debt interest. Our focus is on economic stability, fiscal responsibility, ripping up needless red tape, tearing out waste from our public services, driving forward reforms, and putting more money in working people's pockets.”
