Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves announced plans to reduce the UK's civil service workforce by 10,000 as part of a broader strategy to cut government operating costs by 15%. The Labour government aims to enhance efficiency by utilizing technology, such as artificial intelligence, while maintaining real-term spending. Reeves emphasized that the increase in civil servant numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic was a temporary measure and outlined plans to reduce administrative budgets, indicating potential cuts of £2 billion by 2030.
