Rachel Reeves: “Governing Britain is never easy.”

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.

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.

In the age of insecurity in which we live, the economic strength of our country rests on strategic alliances, and no alliance is more important to us than our relationship with the European Union.

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