Chancellor Rachel Reeves has warned of "more difficult decisions to come" ahead of the Autumn Budget announcement in October.
Speaking to the media, Reeves said: "The truth is that these are not decisions that I wanted to make, but these are decisions we had to make to win the inheritance that we faced from the Conservative government. And there will be more difficult decisions to come in the budget later this year.
"The stark reality after the mess that the previous Conservative government have left this Labour Government to inherit. It means difficult decisions, but without difficult decisions, we're going to face serious problems with our public finances.
"I will not take the risks that the Conservatives have taken previously that will put our economy in danger."
