Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Chancellor, is outlining her economic vision for the UK, promising stability and reforms to the UK Treasury to prioritize economic growth. She aims to make growth the focus of the treasury from day one if Labour wins the next general election. Reeves compares the current economic situation to the late 1970s and pledges to reform the treasury under a potential Labour government. She also plans to overturn the decision to remove climate change from the Bank of England's priorities and prioritize public investment levels.
