The Tories left the economy in a mess, and now Rachel Reeves has to clean it up while still investing in public services

Austerity didn’t work before, and it won’t work now—cutting spending will only make things worse for working people. Instead of worrying about "tough choices," we should be taxing the super-rich and big corporations that have been raking in record profits. Trump’s tariffs are definitely making things harder, but let’s not pretend Brexit hasn’t also played a huge role in harming the UK’s economy. Reeves needs to be bold—prioritizing growth and fairness over outdated conservative economic policies.
