UK Chancellor Reeves details a ‘broken and broken’ Britain
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves will paint a dire picture of the UK’s public finances in a speech on Monday that will find her divided between opposition parties and critics from within her own party.
Reeves will detail to the House of Commons a country that is “broken and broken”, with crises or chaos in housing, health, water, education, defence, transport and migration, according to a government statement. She will blame the previous Conservative government and “populist politics”.
