The shadow Chancellor said her party would learn from Rishi Sunak's success in sealing the Windsor Framework this week
The shadow Chancellor revealed she will travel to the US later this spring for talks with senior Democratic party officials on what lessons Labour can learn before the election., saying: “We are still in the changing rooms and other countries are running this race and they’ll get the investment and jobs to their countries.”
Ms Reeves, who has refused to make any spending commitments without explaining which taxes will be used to pay for them, suggested she would not be willing to prioritise funding for the restoration of Parliament, which is likely to cost at least £10bn but which insiders say is needed to stop the Palace of Westminster becomin unusable.
She said: “This site is an iconic site and we want to preserve it for generations to come. But we have got to get value for money. “We need to keep the costs down, because my constituents in Leeds West and people around the country are going to be very unforgiving if billions are available for a scheme like this, while the cost-of-living crisis is ongoing and whilst our public services are crumbling.”
And she hit out at Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour party, saying: “After the terrible and unforgivable failure to tackle anti-Semitism by Jeremy Corbyn and the last Labour leadership, which almost destroyed my party, I am so pleased that we have got it back.”
