The content of the shadow chancellor's party conference speech demonstrates how far the party has moved since the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. But it was a surprise endorsement afterwards which showed how hard the Opposition is working to win over economic big names in its bid for power.
Get Britain building again. Get the country growing again. Clamping down on waste. Making Britons better off… The funny thing about the messages coming from Rachel Reeves in her party conference speech today is that she is standing four-square in territory dominated by the Conservative Party only a few years ago. She wants to unblock the planning system, making it easier for energy companies to build wind turbines, solar panels and gigafactories.
It wasn't just the cancellation of HS2's northern leg; the biggest new announcement in the chancellor's speech was a freeze in civil service recruitment. It was austerity all over again. So the broad tramlines of the next election seem to be coming into focus: the Conservatives pledging a smaller state . And Labour promising more borrowing to invest in infrastructure. In a sense, politics is reverting to pre-Brexit norms.
