Rachel Reeves will set out her budget for the coming years this afternoon in a Costs Review expected to lay the path for significant tax rises.
But it is likewise most likely to include squeezes for other departments as the Chancellor seeks to keep within the straight coat of financial guidelines she has set for herself.
Her space for manoeuvre has actually likewise been more constrained by the Government's U-turn on winter season fuel payments, which will see the benefit paid to pensioners getting as much as ₤ 35,000 each year at a cost of around ₤ 1.25 billion to the Treasury.
Among the expected losers are the cops, with Yvette Cooper's pleas for more cash to assist with decreasing criminal activity thought to have fallen on deaf ears, regardless of cautioning it might result in less bobbies on the beat.

WINNERS
The NHS

The cash injection, which totals up to ₤ 17 billion in real terms, comes after Sir Keir Starmer pledged to ensure that by the next election 92 percent of clients in England waiting for organized treatment are seen within 18 weeks of being referred.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies has already alerted that any increase in NHS funding above 2.5 per cent is most likely to imply real-terms cuts for other departments, or further tax increases to come in the spending plan this autumn.
Latest NHS data suggests around 60 per cent of people are currently seen in this time and figures released last month showed the total number of clients on waiting lists had actually risen somewhat from 6.24 million to 6.25 million.

General secretary Daniel Kebede said: 'Our schools are at breaking point, with cuts leading to fewer resources, larger class sizes, and the erosion of subjects that are vital to a well-rounded education. The Government should stop short-changing education.
'Now is the time for a wealth tax, and closing unreasonable loopholes to guarantee the very richest pay their fair share. Instead of picking the pockets of our pupils, it's time to tax revenues and prioritise our kids and our neighborhoods over corporate greed.'
Defence

It follows pressure from US President Donald Trump on European members of NATO to trek their military budgets.
There are concerns about how the UK would money such a big boost - roughly equivalent to an additional ₤ 30billion annually.
