  1. Such brazen waffle from Reeves as usual. Inward technology investment in the last financial year (under the Conservatives) was larger than France and Germany combined. It was a third of all technology investment in the 44 countries of Europe.

  2. there is no discussion in this debate, no questioning from labour. I did not think "stick to our plan" meant stick to whatever decision we make even if they are ludicrous. I thought it meant we stick to make sure those who contribute to this country are finally rewarded for their work. This people are just a bunch of very rich jockers playing with little people. Disgusting.

  3. Is anyone tired of hearing about this 20bln black hole when Labour have spent many times this since coming into goverment carbon emmissions additional aid to Ukraine and Isreal opening more hotels for immigrants the list goes in.roll on the by elections

  4. Reeves studied PPE at Oxford and worked for the Bank of England. She earns £150,000 a year and her husband £110,000 a year. Her younger sister Ellie is "Baroness" Cryer and also went to Oxford. The nearest these people will ever get to "Labour" is to have babies.

  5. Anyone asked why she has a picture of a communist founder behind her desk. Pensioners will pay for illegal immigration, state worker obscene pay rises and pension contributions and union inefficiency. If unions use member’s subscriptions and donate this to a part that when elected award unions pay rises….is that a form of corruption? Sounds like the mafia at work.

  6. There was no 22 billion quid black hole until Starmer and Co got their feet under their desks. They created it but Reeves won’t admit it. When they gave in to the unions they opened the door to even more demands. She is intent on turning this country into a backwater for reasons that anyone who didn’t vote labour will understand.
