The shadow chancellor is set to draw battle lines over the economy ahead of the election.
The shadow chancellor is set to draw battle lines over the economy ahead of the election.
Labour has had to come up with new plans after the Government adopted its policy of scrapping ‘non-dom’ tax exemptions.
"Margaret Thatcher did not 'deliver a decade of national renewal'. She delivered a decade of mass unemployment, deindustrialisation and the destruction of the welfare state", David Osland said.
The shadow chancellor said party leader Sir Keir Starmer had intervened ‘swiftly’ to ‘ensure the highest standards’.
The shadow chancellor said she had heard the calls from company bosses to end the ‘chopping and changing’ seen under the Government.
The decision has faced a backlash for rewarding bankers and failing to address cost-of-living concerns affecting households across the UK.
The shadow chancellor said her party has to approach investment in a ‘way where the numbers add up’.
He said her responsible approach to macroeconomic policy is "about the only thing" he finds reassuring about the upcoming election.
