  • Chancellor Rachel Reeves sets out her plan for the economy in a speech on Monday 8 July.
    The UK’s first female chancellor will make kickstarting economic growth a “national mission” with major changes to speed up infrastructure projects and unlock private investment.
    In her first major speech, Ms Reeves will vow to take “difficult decisions” because there is “no time to waste”.

    She knew exactly how bad the finances were!! It's public knowledge. She thinks we're all stupid. It was so predictable she was going to say she didn't realise so she now thinks she has an excuse to put taxes up!!

      House prices rise in part due to demand - reduced demand, reduced price. she also mentioned energy projects numerous times. your questions are being answered. How much, i dont know. but the point is there has been no significant building in either of these sectors for a long, long time.

      House prices are rising BECAUSE we don’t have enough homes. Just like anything in life, when they’re isn’t enough, it’s more valuable

      The main details will be in policy documents, statements, legislation etc. She could speak for hours on planning reform but that isn’t the purpose of a press conference when the headlines written in the newspapers will be aimed at the general public who statistically have an average reading age of a nine year old child (and no that is not an exaggeration).
