Prime Minister Keir Starmer (Image: Getty)
The Prime Minister will today pledge to transform Whitehall with a “digital revolution” giving taxpayers “￡45bn worth of savings and productivity benefits” in public services. Civil servants will face the axe under a new policy that states no person should do a job that technology or AI can do instead.
Downing Street has denied it is taking a “chainsaw” to Whitehall but Sir Keir Starmer will warn the state is failing to deliver despite becoming bloated as civil servant numbers soar. It comes in advance of the Chancellor’s statement on March 26 setting out the state of the public finances.

“If we push forward with the digitisation of government services. There are up to ￡45bn worth of savings and productivity benefits, ready to be realised.”
