CONFERENCE HOT TAKE: Protestors disrupt Rachel Reeves’ speech
Rachel Reeves took to the stage at the Labour Party Conference in a wet and gloomy Liverpool, hoping to brighten her party’s fortunes. After a tumultuous few weeks for the new government with rows over ‘Keir’s gear’, Sue Gray and the Winter Fuel Payment, the new chancellor hoped to prove that after 14 years of the Tories, Labour were all set to deliver a bright new future. But it was a speech that was heavy on rhetoric, light on policy and disrupted by a pro-Palestine protestor. Has she done enough to shake off accusations that she’s the next ‘austerity chancellor’? Ed Balls and George Osborne pick over her speech and ask whether she’s managed to convince voters they’ve made the right choice… Our next episode of EMQs will be a Labour Party Conference special - Political Currency Gold subscribers get first dibs on questions.
