Rachel Reeves’ speech on the economy: can she convince voters she’s serious about growth?
The shadow chancellor’s speech on Monday was an attempt to set out her stall as a potential future chancellor.
She promised to deliver “a decade of renewal” for the UK economy, and argued that the government’s current approach was not working.
Reeves also set out a series of policies, including a £28bn “green investment premium” and a new “national wealth fund.”
Her speech was well-received by some commentators, who praised her for setting out a clear and ambitious vision for the UK economy.
However, others have questioned whether she has the experience and the policies necessary to deliver on her promises.
Reeves is a former economist and banker, and she has held a number of ministerial positions in the Shadow Cabinet.
She is seen as a rising star in the Labour Party, and she is considered to be a potential future leader.
However, she has also been criticized for her lack of experience in government.
She has never held a position in the Treasury, and she has never been responsible for running a large government department.
In the run-up to the next general election, Reeves will need to convince voters that she has the experience and the policies necessary to deliver on her promises.
Her speech on Monday was a first step in that process, but she will need to do more to convince voters that she is serious about growth.
