Presented by Jeremy Paxman



Chancellor George Osborne has unveiled the biggest UK spending cuts in decades - with welfare, councils and police budgets all hit.

The pension age will rise sooner than expected, some incapacity benefits will be time limited and other money clawed back through changes to tax credits and housing benefit.

Tonight Jeremy Paxman presents an hour-long Newsnight special assessing the details and the impact of plan.

We will be hearing from one of the architects of the Spending Review, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander.

Our Economics editor Paul Mason and our Political editor Michael Crick will be giving us their view of what has been announced.

Stephen Smith has donned the mantle of Motorway Man once more, returning to his general election home, the Donnington Park services, to get reaction from the people there.

We will be discussing whether Britain will feel culturally different in the wake of the swingeing cuts with artist Grayson Perry, historian and author Amanda Foreman, and businessman Sir Martin Sorrell.

And we will be getting the views of some leading newspaper editors.

Do join us at 10.30pm on BBC Two.
