Rachel Reeves: “Ukraine's security is Europe's security and we will continue to support the people of Ukraine.”

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.

It has been the privilege of my life to serve as the Chancellor of the Exchequer. 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.

Our choices mean the economy is in a better position to deal with the costs of the war in Iran while kickstarting long-term growth by focusing on our three big choices – boosting AI, regional growth and strengthening trade with the EU.

Governing Britain is never easy.
