Reeves feels heat before his spring statement

In a conversation before next week’s statement, the president refers to a guarded approach between global uncertainty – and warns a warning

A thick skin is necessary for our main politicians. There is news of unstable social media and public suspicion. Increase in the war with deep and continuous problems in the country. And these days, the problems are the turmoil of the constant and very real global turmoil.

The questions are deep for politicians and it is something that the university rector receives.

“I admit that I do the privilege that I will do today, and I fully believe that every policy I announce, each kilogram of public money, taxpayers that I spend, and every pound I receive from people in terms of taxes.

But in the future, there will be a confession, from this difficult professional politician, whom one of his colleagues has once described as ‘severo nail’, which he doesn’t like when things are personal.

“One of the things I think I’m seeing strongly, even with more thick skin I expect I must have grown in the last 14 years, some of their personal criticisms, because it’s not the kind of policy I’m doing,” he told me.

Just as admissions go, they are immaculate and general in nature.

But read within a person who decides to make great results for a lot of life and many people at the same time someone who is faced with unusual questions about the history of his work and CVs, this may be Reeves to tell us that he feels warm.

The confession may have come because it was an unusual discussion. We weren’t under the studio light, but instead of the US treasury itself to make a BBC documentary, we tried to understand the great decisions that Reeves make.

Our discussion came a couple of hours after the PKK government announced billions of pounds to cut off the comfort, most notably strictly tested for Pips. The aim is to save £5 billion by

But there is a real anxiety in his party about what he and Sir Kir Starmer are doing.

And when I ask the advisor to these cuts, he prefers to talk about the broader PKK’s broader vision of the economy, instead warns that the PKK government cannot do what its members and supporters have waited and adding hands to government departments as before.

He tells me: “There is development, real growth every year, in fact, in public expenditures, but not at the level we were able to convey under the last government when the economy grows much stronger.”

“We must raise ourselves and continue to ensure that we will do our best to improve living standards and ultimately through economic development.

Referring to the spring declaration is that tax increases will not increase and the increase in government spending will not increase, instead a knife will be taken to some parts. This is the opposite of what he did in autumn and the opposite of what you assumed as the head of childbirth.

This approach, which is mostly guarded, is part of the response to the uncertainty created by the Trump administration – no one knows exactly what is in a corner.

But it has been inspired across the Atlantic Ocean for many years.

One of Reeves’ first work was an economist at the British Embassy in Washington from 2002 to At that time, he defined his initial thinking and still looks to the United States for inspiration – Reves’ first call, just as he was an adviser to Janet Yilen, then his equivalent to DC as young secretary Biden.

I am asking Yelin that Reeves is now about a year ahead of him. “I think he’ll be the Reves, you know, adhere to the course he puts forward and he has brought things forward, to the extent that he can give him speed and commitment,” he says.

But there is tension in the path of Reeves. The PKK is more taxed, but some spending will be bowed. The ministers restore some laws and regulations, but they give more rights to workers at work. In fact, they put the brakes and the rapid at the same time.

He is aware that there is no something he can do to create prosperity suddenly. And therefore, can people wait for the change they have been promised?

Contact the key according to Yelen: “Before you achieve progress for voters in infrastructure and job creation, it takes time, so you will not be rewarded immediately.

“And it is a relationship, I think it is very important for the population to understand that this is a path that needs some patience to see the reward.

Reeves calls on voters to believe that some of the tough elections can be explained, at least in a part, in the fact that the world around it has changed so that it did not expect when his party began preparing its new offer for people after the 2019 defeat.

First, a large loan of £28 billion allocated for green projects was a necessary response to the economic turmoil, which according to Liz Trussis according to work – not the opinion that the opponents who never considered confidential PKK policy.

While once he said he would be the first green president, Reeves now signs the airport’s expansion of the Hecero, proposes to get rid of the rules, which the organizer is in the power of the competition and markets (CMA) even.

The Labor Party says the country’s economic books are worse than expected when they took power. And recently, uncertainty about Donald Trump’s readiness to support Ukraine and NATO in a broader manner has made Britain allocate more money for defense.

“The world has changed, we can see it in front of our eyes, in a complete number of parties,” Reeves told me.

“(We see) more instability and insecurity in the world, Europe is forced to take a bigger role in our continent to defend ourselves.

For some people, however, Reeves raises the question of what kind of labor politician he is.

Welfare cuts are in the heart of this issue. In his questions, Kir said that reform in his welfare is a “moral issue”, while veteran MP Diane Abbot said “there is no ethics to reduce the benefits of millions of people.

Reeves, much of the Corporation of the Workers’ Party (PKK), sat with Jeremy Corbyn as a leader. He was always serious and observer, looking at the future of his party and his future.

When he became a shadow consultant, he made great attempts to slap the city, even if he admits that he advises his team to wipe out the dough at the end of breakfast.

Reeves sees himself as a pragmatic politician, not an ideologist, whether it means increasing taxes in the first budget to provide public services budget or vice versa.

Debora Mattenson was the strategic director of Sir Kir until the election. He says it is Reeves Kani and that’s the values ​​of his work.

“He’s very very skilled. He’s good at looking at the angles.

“It’s a cliché to say that he’s a chess player, but in fact there is no one to deal with the problem he is right and leave there.

Reeves called him his policies were created at home, his values ​​in southern London, who worked a lot and reached the Bank of England, his economy, which was built with education and experience, but also the conditions for selection – remember that he chose politics, not economics after everything.

According to Debora Mattison, the key. Reeves’ decisions take in a square on the basis of ensuring that work is considered economically accredited. The argument is that if it is not seen in the way it is only accredited, it will not be in power and then nothing else is really important.

“You can’t win an election if you don’t trust economic management. And the Labor Party has a historical problem that goes back to a very, very far path,” he told me.

“After the failure of the elections in 2010, all of which were scattered… (W) were the years of the Corrids, they were really a problem.

“Until we went to the elections, he had two digits over the opposite number. That’s one of the hells of an achievement.

As his priorities in the field of new work, Reeves takes the view that people are less interested in the PKK’s economic ideology and are more interested in bringing economic welfare. (It’s a clear ideological attitude and will not lose each other’s economic success).

However, there is a clear division between Reeves and Gordon Brown, the consultation between 1997 and While Brown has given little secret to his desires to be prime minister, Reeves says he has no goal.

“I have no honestly desire to do that. That’s not always the answer you may receive from the struggling advisor, but in my situation, that’s completely true. What I always wanted is to do this.

“And I am very, very happy because there are many people in politics and in other sections of life that they can do what they have always dreamed of. And for me, I do that today.

But don’t make mistakes, next spring statement is a nightmare for labor advisors. His party hates cutting prosperity.

And at the same time, borrowing and unemployment are busy and there is no sign of economic growth, although encouraging growth is the number one function in work.

The Reeves is the architect and the face of the government’s economic plans. If he really feels heat, it may be a little surprising.
