Embattled Rachel Reeves is set to make a major speech this morning in a desperate bid to kickstart the economy.
The Chancellor will be in Oxfordshire to set out policies aimed at boosting growth from 10am.
Ms Reeves, who faced a major backlash to her tax-hiking Budget, will say that Britain has been “held back” and “accepted stagnation”.
But the Tories claimed Sir Keir Starmer and Ms Reeves herself are the “biggest barriers to growth”.
Shadow chancellor Mel Stride said: “Hastily cobbled together announcements of growth in the 2030s will do nothing to help the businesses cutting jobs right now because of Labour’s punishing jobs tax, the companies being crushed under their barrage of new regulations, or the farmers facing bankruptcy over the cruel family farm tax.”
