Labour promises to get by with limited tax increases, worth 8.6 billion .
But the consensus among economists is that neither major party is being honest with voters.
Both parties face shortfalls if they are to avoid real-terms cuts to "unprotected" services such as courts, prisons, policing, legal aid and further education.
In 2023/24 , UK government spending was estimated to be 1.2 trillion , some 17,000 per person.
Two-thirds of the total is "day-to-day" spending on public services, such as health (the biggest, at just over 200bn) Around a quarter is spent on social security such as universal credit and state pension.
