Rachel Reeves has delivered her Spring Statement, revealing the latest plans for the UK economy.
Reeves, Keir Starmer and their Labour government made economic growth a key part of their promises to the British public. However, they have faced a litany of economic troubles since their election victory. From President Donald Trump's tariffs to the inherited Ukraine war and Covid-19 pandemic woes that faced their Conservative predecessors.
Ben Zaranko from the Institute of Fiscal Studies breaks down the issues facing Labour with the New Statesman's Rachel Cunliffe.
