Rachel Reeves has admitted “not enough” working people are feeling better off under Labour.
The Chancellor insisted that the Government was “making progress” as she pointed to interest rate cuts and wage growth.
But she said her Spending Review, due to be unveiled in the House of Commons tomorrow, will be focused on accelerating progress on boosting living standards.
Delivering a speech at the GMB union’s conference in Brighton, Ms Reeves said: “I know that not enough working people are yet feeling that progress, and that’s what tomorrow’s Spending Review is all about – making working people better off, investing in our security, investing in our health, investing in our economy.
“This Government is going for growth because that is the best way to create jobs, boost wages, lift people out of poverty, and sustainably fund our schools and our hospitals and all the public services we rely on.
