Labour's vibes are all wrong
Manage episode 518899056 series 1426749
With two weeks until her Budget, Rachel Reeves has received more bad news: unemployment is now at its highest level since the pandemic. With the Chancellor hinting at income tax rises, could this be dangerous for Labour as it increasingly becomes the party of higher earners? Polling suggests the public would lay the blame for tax hikes with Reeves, despite her speech last week.
With threats from a resurgent Green party to the left and Reform to the right, is there an obvious path forward for Labour to win back voters?
James Heale speaks to Michael Simmons and Scarlett Maguire.
Produced by Megan McElroy and James Lewis.
