AN ex-Tory minister has introduced a speech on the economy by Labour’s shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves.
Boles was a Tory MP from 2010 to 2019 and served as a planning minister in the government of David Cameron.
She said: “Instead of believing the Prime Minister’s claims that we’ve turned a corner, the questions people will ask ahead of the next election are simple. Reeves’s speech came days ahead of the Bank of England’s next interest rates decision on Thursday and the release of figures covering the economy’s performance over the first three months of this year on Friday.
She said: “We can do that through other means including the creation of GB Energy, the national wealth fund and, crucially, those planning reforms.”
