Reeves gives ‘deluded’ conference speech as Labour goes to war with itself

from The Daily T

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has used her Labour conference speech in Liverpool to prepare the ground for Budget tax rises, despite the Government’s election pledge not to ‘increase taxes on working people’.Although she said she won’t take risks with the public finances, Reeves warned of “harder choices” to come, meaning working families could soon be paying the price for Labour’s big-spending promises.Reeves also took the chance to take a swipe at Andy Burnham, saying his economic plans were ‘dangerously wrong’.Camilla and Tim bring you inside the conference hall with the reaction to the Chancellor’s ‘hopelessly out of touch’ speech.Plus interviews with Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy and Paymaster General Nick Thomas-Symonds.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
