The IFS said the government had "front-loaded" its spending over the course of the parliament term in the first couple of years, which meant spending would slow down. "The consequences of this decision must be confronted," the IFS warned.When it comes to daily spending on public services, the think tank suggested a "huge amount depends on the generosity" of cash handed to the NHS - which accounts for 39% of day-to-day departmental spending - as well as defence.NHS spending is planned to be £202bn in 2025-2026, the IFS said, which could pull funding from other areas as the government prioritises reducing patient waiting times and improving access to dental care.

The coin dropped instantly back home in Punjab, which absorbed logo fashion like a sponge when luxury brands arrived in the 2000s. For Punjabis - who are largely a farming community - it was an aspirational uprising, symbolic of how success and prosperity should look."It symbolised the movement of the Punjabi identity from a farmer to a global consumer," says acclaimed singer Rabbi Shergill.

Arguing that performers, like everyone else, are a product of their times, Shergill says these impulses are "a response to the hyper capitalist world".Curiously, the style game of Punjabi musicians - from hip-hop, R&B, bhangra pop, fusion, Punjabi rap, reggae or filmy music - has also remained rooted and androgynous, instead of being hyper masculine.
