Chancellor Reeves criticised over economic stagnation

Shadow Business Minister Dame Harriett Baldwin has criticised Chancellor Rachel Reeves for stalling UK growth.

Baldwin claims Reeves' recent budget increased spending and taxes significantly, leading to reduced private sector investment and hiring.

She argues this has caused economic growth to stall, with markets now questioning the budget's credibility.
