The Treasury trickery behind Rachel Reeves’s Spring Statement

Rachel Reeves has delivered her plans for the UK economy during her Spring Statement in the House of Commons today, pledging to “secure Britain’s future.”

Indeed, in a stark warning, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) signalled that Labour's overhaul of workers' rights will have “material” and probably negative impacts on the economy, and it looks likely that the Chancellor risks being forced into more tax rises with her plans.

Camilla is live from Westminster, reacting to today's announcements with Labour MP and Mission Champion for Economic Growth Dan Tomlinson and Shadow Secretary of State for Business and Trade Andrew Griffith.

Plus, Reform UK's Richard Tice reacts to the statement and the latest developments with the Rupert Lowe feud.
