ALEX BRUMMER: The potential damage to an already stuttering economy, weighed down by the Chancellor's growth-sapping £40 billion of tax rises, doesn't bear thinking about.
It marks the latest downbeat verdict on Ms Reeves's performance as Chancellor - and undermines Keir Starmer's claim that Labour has 'fixed the foundations of the economy'.
Fears are growing that the Chancellor will target the retirement pots of millions of workers in the autumn as weak growth blows a black hole in her plans.
Two thirds of voters (67 per cent) believe that the Chancellor's plans set out last week mean she will either hit them in the pocket or increase borrowing.
With the Black Lives Matter movement sweeping the globe, Keir Starmer was asked what he thought about the radical Left's latest rallying cry - 'Defund the police!'
The Chancellor's plans for a 2.3 per cent rise in police spending between 2023-24 and 2028-29 has dismayed police leaders, who insist the funding will leave a £1.2 billion shortfall.
