Sir Keir Starmer is expected to deliver the warning this week
The Prime Minister is set to warn that Britain will 'get worse before it gets better' in his first major speech since taking office.
Sir Keir is expected to develop that line of attack further on Tuesday, saying things are “worse than we ever imagined”. One of Labour’s first acts in government was to reduce the proportion of their sentences offenders must spend in prison before being released on parole, arguing the previous government had allowed jails to almost completely run out of space.
Sir Keir’s speech comes ahead of a potentially tough period for the Government as it prepares its first budget, due on October 30. Ms Reeves faces the challenge of delivering on Labour’s promises on taxation and spending amid what she has already described as a worse fiscal situation than she was expecting, with some tax rises looking increasingly likely.
But with its large majority, the Government is unlikely to see a defeat should the policy come to a vote in the Commons.
