Rachel Reeves would be breaking a key Labour promise by raising income tax, even on the highest earners in the country. However, pressure is growing on the Labour government as they attempt to deliver growth amidst worsening economic woes.

Hannah Barnes is joined by Andrew Marr and Rachel Cunliffe as they discuss whether Reeves could be tempted to break this promise, as well as the other monumental challenges facing the Chancellor.
