Rachel Reeves, Labour's Shadow Chancellor, has criticized Rishi Sunak's tax plans, accusing the Prime Minister of "robbing Peter to pay…Peter". Reeves argued that the Conservative party has failed on numerous fronts, including immigration, the NHS, and the economy. She insisted that the public should not be fooled by the PM's claims of progress, pointing out that the economy has actually contracted.

A Plan for Growth

Reeves emphasized the need for a government that prioritizes economic growth. She urged voters to consider Labour's changed party and its commitment to job creation, cost-cutting measures, and domestic energy production to reduce reliance on foreign sources. The Labour party's plan also includes initiatives to address the housing crisis, reform the NHS, increase police presence, and combat organized crime associated with small boat crossings.

Financial Responsibility

Reeves assured the public that Labour has learned from past mistakes and will only make fully costed and funded promises. As an example, she mentioned closing tax loopholes that allow the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share and using the additional revenue to fund two million extra NHS appointments. She described Labour's approach as a comprehensive plan for national renewal, aimed at securing a brighter future for Britain.
