Labour Backtracks on £28bn Green Prosperity Plan, Citing Economic Stability and Fiscal Rules

Labour's Rachel Reeves has backtracked on the party's flagship £28bn green prosperity plan, citing rising interest rates and damage caused by the Conservatives to the economy.

Reeves, the shadow chancellor, said that economic stability and financial stability must come first and that the party's fiscal rules are non-negotiable.

She denied accusations of a U-turn and said that the figure for spending on the plan would not be "zero", but refused to give a rough number.

Reeves sought to quell speculation of a rift with shadow climate change secretary Ed Miliband, who is on the "same page" as her.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt criticized the change as "superficial" and adding £100 billion to the national debt, while Conservative Party Chair Greg Hands said that Sir Keir's economic policy is in tatters.

According to this person, the Labour Party has turned its back on these opportunities, which will result in the UK economy falling behind and the cost of living rising.
