In an interview on The News Agents podcast, Reeves shared the nation's financial troubles, indicating that taxes might need to be increased in the autumn budget. However, she's keeping the details of which those will be confidential for now. She promised that value-added tax, (VAT) national insurance, and income tax won’t be affected.
Reeves also pointed fingers at former Tory chancellor Jeremy Hunt, accusing him of misleading the public about the state of the UK's finances. She admitted she was caught off guard by the £22 billion fiscal gap left by the previous Conservative government.
Kevin O’Sullivan and Talk International editor, Isabel Oakeshott discuss the chancellors motives.
