Rather than summarise Rachel Reeves logic & her and Keir Starmer's reasons for doing the hair shirt of continued austerity, here she is making the case (most of which will be familiar to you) for her decisions in the run up to the forthcoming Autumn Budget.
As I've said before I am holding off on any firm judgement until we see what the budget contains (on the grounds of following the money).... os here is Reeves feeling you why she's doing what she's doing.
