A year on from Liz Truss’s disastrous mini-budget, Labour on Friday vowed it would never allow the UK’s fiscal watchdog to be “gagged” as it outlined planned changes to constrain future governments.
Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves also denied that Labour was “anti-motorist” after the party vowed to stick to a 2030 ban on sales of non-electric vehicles, following Rishi Sunak’s decision to delay the ban to 2035.
