The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) warns that the next UK government will face significant financial challenges, with potential tax increases or public service cuts needed to manage high debt and low economic growth.

The IFS highlights that without a dramatic improvement in growth, tough financial decisions will be necessary, impacting voters' fortunes.
