“I’m not going to be able to solve all of the problems right away,” Rachel Reeves stated during an interview on News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips.
When asked if she would bail out the councils, allow them to hike taxes, or tell them to sink or swim, Ms Reeves said: “I’m under no illusions about the scale of the challenge that I will inherit if I become chancellor later this year, and I need to be honest with people.”

“If we do these things, we will increase tax income and be able to invest in public services again. There are no shortcuts. “That is the way.”
