Nigeria says more people than ever are paying tax - but government revenues are not growing

Reality Check

By increasing school budgets by £7.1bn by 2022-23, the government will have pretty much reversed the 8% cuts to per-pupil spending seen since 2009-10, according to the Institute of Fiscal Studies.

But this means that their budgets have been effectively frozen for over a decade.

This compares to the average annual increases of around 5% between 2000-01 and 2009-10 under Labour.

Separately, the £400m announced for 16-19 education next year does not reverse the 8% per pupil cuts they’ve seen, but it is a significant increase.

The IFS estimated that £640m was needed in 2021-22 to reverse these cuts.

Reality Check

The government had already given the three-year resource figure for schools.

It was an extra £2.6bn next year, 4.8bn the following year and £7.1bn in 2022-23.

At the time they added those up to make a £14bn increase, although it would usually be referred to as a £7.1bn increase.

Reality Check

£750m has been allocated to the first year of the plan to increase police numbers by 20,000 by 2022.

That would take the total number of police officers in England and Wales to 143,000.

Since 2010, police numbers have fallen by 20,500 – so this would more or less fill the gap.

Reality Check

If you're trying to keep a tally, the Treasury says that the £2bn for general Brexit planning next year is in addition to the £2.1bn that Boris Johnson previously allocated for no-deal Brexit preparations.

Add that to the £4.2bn previously put towards Brexit preparations under Theresa May's government and you have a grand total of £8.3bn.
