UK women could face £3,162 annual losses by 2027-28 if Labour adopts Conservative spending plans, warns Women's Budget Group.

The Women's Budget Group (WBG) reports that UK women could face annual losses of £3,162 if the Labour Party adopts current Conservative spending plans. By 2027-28, the poorest women's living standards may decline by 21%, while the average woman will be 9.4% worse off since 2010. The WBG urges increased public service funding and welfare reforms to combat these trends, emphasizing the need for fairer taxes to support such initiatives.
