In an interview with the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Reeves was asked what the “big difference” was between Labour and Tory plans for the economy.
She said Labour would spend £1.5bn by removing VAT-free status from private schools and £7.7bn from a “proper” windfall tax on energy companies.“Those are not crumbs” Reeves said. “That is real money to go into our public services that the Conservatives are not investing today.”But Reeves said Labour looked to be inheriting the worst economic situation “since the Second World War” and was “under no illusions” about the challenge.
