The shadow chancellor met supermarket workers as she hit the campaign trail in west London.
The shadow chancellor has criticised Jeremy Hunt’s plans for further “uncosted, unfunded tax cuts”, suggesting they would cause a repeat of the 2022 mini-budget.
Ms Reeves met supermarket workers on Saturday to talk about the cost-of-living crisis after describing Labour as the party of “stability and tough spending” in her own Daily Mail article.Asked about Labour’s own tax plans after her visit to the Iceland store in Fulham, she said: “I want taxes on working people to be lower, but the Conservatives have now put forward a number of uncosted, unfunded tax cuts similar to what Liz Truss did just 18 months ago.
Ms Truss’s tenure in Downing Street lasted just 49 days after her mini-budget in September 2022 triggered mass market turmoil. The shadow chancellor told reporters she had no plans to increase taxes, and that Labour would crack down on tax avoidance and applying VAT and business rates to private schools.She added: “There’s no shortcut. I’m not under any illusions about the scale of the challenge and the difficult choices that await me if I become Chancellor of the Exchequer.Ms Reeves was joined by Labour’s candidate for the Chelsea and Fulham constituency Ben Coleman on her visit.
