Rachel Reeves made a big speech on the government’s spending plans – but ended up being overshadowed by the bored workers made to stand behind her.

The chancellor visited a bus factory in Rochdale to announce billions of pounds worth of transport projects across the north of England and the Midlands – areas where Labour are now under threat from Reform UK.

She also used the 30-minute speech to attack Nigel Farage’s party and the Tories, while setting out Labour’s economic vision for the UK.
