‘She's cratering the economy!’ Reeves' spending review under fire from Tories & Reform | The Daily T

Подробнее о видео

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has unveiled her first major spending review, pledging tens of billions in additional funding for public services, including £29 billion a year for the NHS, a £4.5 billion boost to the schools budget, and a rise in defence spending to 2.6% of GDP by 2027.

But Reeves stopped short of explaining how the government will actually fund these ambitious commitments, fuelling Tory warnings of looming tax hikes.

Shadow chancellor Mel Stride accused her of having “completely lost control”, calling it a “spend now, tax later” plan that kicks tough choices down the road for Labour.

So how will the Government balance the books? And what will the spending review mean for you?

Camilla Tominey presents this edition of The Daily T from outside Parliament with Reform’s Richard Tice, who says Reeves is "cratering the economy" whilst being "obsessed" with his party. Plus, she speaks to Tory Andrew Griffith on why his party are disowning Liz Truss’s mini budget and Labour’s Chris Curtis on whether more money for the NHS should also mean stricter productivity targets.
