How long can Rachel Reeves last?

from The Daily T

After crying in the Commons on Wednesday, Chancellor Rachel Reeves was back out today alongside Keir Starmer, who declared the two are “in lockstep”.But it’s going to take more than a fresh hairdo and a jolly photo op to convince voters – and indeed the markets – that all is well inside Government.Tim and Gordon consider whether their credibility is shot for good after the welfare fiasco; how the Chancellor will handle the £5 billion hole it created; and the NHS reform plans that were overshadowed by it all.Plus, while Nigel Farage is parking his tanks on Labour’s lawn, figures on the Left are circling too. Journalist Aaron Bastani explains why the Greens and independents like Jeremy Corbyn are making gains, as well as why Keir Starmer’s approach to governing is “deluded” and how working people “pay too little tax”.Read: The Left is ready to strike against Starmer’s miserable leadership, by Aaron BastaniProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.
