Rachel Reeves: “Andy will take over an economy that is much stronger than the one I inherited from the Conservatives just two years ago”

Radical change is only possible if it comes with credibility. That is my mission as Chancellor. That is the mission of this government, and I know it will remain the mission of the next.

I am absolutely certain if we could go back two years, there are choices that I made that would be different.

And to every young woman and girl let my time in office show there should be no ceilings on your ambitions, your hopes or your dreams.

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.
