Rachel Reeves: Labour won't be able to turn things around immediately

Labour will not be able to "turn things around straight away" if elected, Rachel Reeves has said.

Speaking to the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, the shadow chancellor did not rule out making cuts in some areas, saying Labour would inherit the worst economy since World War Two.

She said she would be "methodically" identifying ways to pay for existing pledges on the NHS and schools.



Never for one minute of your life have you thought, or done, or spoken for yourself. You have been prevented; and so wonderful is this plot to keep you blind that you have not a notion it exists. To yourself your sight seems good, such is your pleasant thought. Since you cannot even see this hedge around you, how can there be anything the other side?

Tammly - certainly not themselves. Adaptability isn't something they do easily.
