  • Reeves tells MP to 'get real' as she defends decisions during Commons grilling - The Chancellor was also criticised for her visit to China, with SNP MP Dave Doogan saying it was 'beyond parody'.

Rachel Reeves, the UK's Shadow Chancellor, faced a robust questioning in the House of Commons where she defended Labour's economic policies and decisions. During the session, she urged Conservative MPs to "get real" about the economic challenges facing the country, emphasizing the need for a pragmatic approach to governance. Reeves highlighted Labour's commitment to fiscal responsibility, critiquing the government's handling of the economy, particularly in light of recent economic turbulence. She argued that Labour's plans would focus on sustainable growth, investment in green industries, and addressing regional inequalities, while also responding to criticisms by asserting that the opposition's proposals are grounded in economic reality and aimed at long-term stability rather than short-term gains.
