6:46Now PlayingTory shadow chancellor Mel Stride tells Sophy Ridge he thinks the spring statment is proof that Rachel Reeves has "lost control of the public finances".
She has "scrabbled around" to save money and it "doesn't give you much confidence" going into her next budget in the autumn.
He disputes Sophy's suggestion that he's quick to blame Labour for economic conditions like a rise in inflation, despite it having been far higher under the Tories just a few years ago.
