Tory veteran insisted Labour Shadow Chancellor will be 'responsible' custodian of economy
Government prepared secret dossier on academic’s posts on BLM, 'militant leftism', Israel warRachel Reeves’s new podcast, Labour’s Path to Power, the veteran Conservative said the Shadow Chancellor has shown she is likely to be “responsible” with the public finances should Labour come to power.
The “uncompromising” approach has now won praise from Lord Clarke, who suggested Ms Reeves and Tory Chancellor Jeremy Hunt represented the same view of how to run the Treasury“It’s her party that worries me. Well, it’s almost true in both cases, actually. But if it was Jeremy Hunt and Rachel Reeves, then I don’t think either of the parties would worry me very much.
Lord Clarke also warned that Ms Reeves would need to make “a lot of tough, unpopular decisions” if she is chancellor after the next election because “we’re not going to get out of our present financial crisis for at least two or three years”. Similar criticism came from a senior source from within CCHQ, who told i Labour’s “only policy is to tax and borrow more”.
