Asked about the upcoming budget, Labour's Rachel Reeves has said she would have an "iron grip" on public finances if she was in Number 11 amid last October's mini-budget.

"Any announcement that I would make about spending and about priorities will say where the money's going to come from," Ms Reeves has added.

The Shadow Chancellor has also ruled out rejoining the Single Market in the EU, committing instead to reforming the Brexit deal if Labour were to win the next election.
