Rachel Reeves: “A delivery vehicle with the powers, the governance, and the mandate to unlock strategic sites and to accelerate growth.”

The economy today is stronger, fairer and more resilient because of the choices we have taken as a Labour Government over the past two years.

Governing Britain is never easy.

I wish the very best of luck to my successor, Andy and his cabinet. You have my full support, and I will continue to play my part in helping this Labour government deliver the change the country needs.

I think that we need to be much bolder and go much further moving towards a trusted economic and security partnership, where the default is the UK is included not excluded.
