Double-bubble: Rachel Reeves' regurgitating of Boris Johnson ’s old manifesto, sorry I mean Rachel Reeves' unveiling of Labour’s pioneering new plan for growth, then Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions.

A major speech Wednesday promises a host of pro-growth policies to turn the UK economy around. But the hurdles in the chancellor’s way are huge.

Labour’s ambitions for a more pro-growth, pro-business agenda mark a positive shift, at least in tone. But actual, visible, tangible growth depends on execution. This in turn depends on private sector money, overcoming bureaucratic hurdles, and cutting the Brexit red-tape that continues to hamper trade with the EU.

Rachel Reeves would be “foolish” to put growth before net zero and approve expansion at Britain’s major airports, a major Labour donor has warned.

Rachel Reeves is not just facing an economic crisis – she is suffering from a failure of philosophical imagination.
