Eight flaws in Reeves's speech today:
1. She said "inflation has been too slow to come down". It’s almost doubled under her tenure.
2. She said she "made... decisions to get debt down". It's £2.71tn, up from £2.53tn last July.
3. She's adding to regulation, not cutting it (employment rights, renters rights, football regulator).
4. She complained of unforeseeable events (tariffs, defence), which most people in the queue at the butchers saw coming.
5. She mentioned welfare reform but gave no examples.
6. She seems to think "breakfast clubs" are "investment".
7. Ripping up planning rules brings £6.8bn gain. What does that mean? Where's the evidence?
8. Ripping up quangos and consultancies to help save £14bn? Hasn't happened yet, probably never will.
@simo42936@SRFielding72@piersmorgan Totally agree. He just needed more time to be able to bring the economy forward and he was so right on what Labour would do. I wish more people heard this debate as we could see what was coming.
