Stride criticises Reeves' economic record on Laura Kuenssberg show
Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride appeared on "Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg" to discuss Rachel Reeves' time as Chancellor, saying she made "wrong choices" and came into government without a plan. Stride argued that the country has seen "very anaemic growth" and that Reeves' scorecard for the economic future is "very low". Meanwhile, Reeves, in a pre-recorded interview, warned incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham that he needs a "worked-through plan" to govern.
