While the long-awaited multi-year spending review has been postponed until 2020, the government has to undertake a one-year spending review this year to ensure departmental funding does not run out in April 2020.
The Chancellor recently confirmed that this would be taking place in early September; a sign that government very much wants to conduct this review quietly.

And above all else, what is vital is government demonstrating that the domestic agenda is still of high importance.
