POLL OF THE DAY: Do you trust Rachel Reeves to put 'more pounds in people's pockets'? YOUR VERDICT

In her speech later today, Reeves is expected to say the “prize on offer” for Labour’s plans is “immense”, and will lay out new funding to cut hospital waiting lists, pave the way for more affordable homes and rebuild crumbling schools.

She has warned that the tax hikes and borrowing increases she is considering may not be enough to undo “14 years of damage” to the NHS, despite plans to pump billions of pounds into the health service.

A hike in the minimum wage to £12.21 an hour is among the measures included, and Labour has also promised not to increase the headline taxes on the pay cheques of “working people”: national insurance, VAT and income tax.

Despite warnings from ministers that the Budget will include tough decisions on tax rises and spending cuts, Reeves is expected to say: “My belief in Britain burns brighter than ever. And the prize on offer to today is immense.”

She will add: “More pounds in people’s pockets. An NHS that is there when you need it. An economy that is growing, creating wealth and opportunity for all. Because that is the only way to improve living standards.

“And the only way to drive economic growth is to invest, invest, invest. There are no short cuts. To deliver that investment we must restore economic stability.”

In the exclusive poll for GB News membership readers, an overwhelming majority (99 per cent) of the 1,383 voters said they do not trust Rachel Reeves to put 'more pounds in people's pockets', while just one per cent said they did.
