Intro

Rachel Reeves plans to deliver a budget on 26 November — but how can she do that when the Labour government is falling apart? Cabinet briefings, internal plotting and collapsing confidence mean Labour has lost its coherence just when Britain needs leadership. A budget is a statement of belief and purpose. Right now, this government has neither.

In this video, I explain why Reeves’ commitment to Tory fiscal rules leaves her unable to act, why Starmer cannot articulate a vision, and why Britain desperately needs investment, fair wages and a politics of care. Can a government with no conviction deliver a budget worth listening to?
