Reeves to lay out infrastructure plan targeting Labour heartlands

Chancellor Rachel Reeves will unveil details of a £113bn 10-year infrastructure plan aimed at boosting growth in Labour’s heartlands, despite facing internal dissent over £5bn in proposed welfare cuts by 2030. While her spending review received support from Labour MPs, criticism arose from fiscal experts, and a rebellion is brewing over benefits reform, prompting a response from Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall to mitigate discontent among party members.
