Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves told finance and banking leaders that Labour would be as economically radical as Margaret Thatcher.

GB News host Isabel Webster has questioned Labour MP Darren Jones after Rachel Reeves claimed: " Labour would be as economically radical as Margaret Thatcher."

The Breakfast host asked whether this is "just a ploy to woo" Conservative voters.

Jones responded: "The Labour Party is now a party under Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves for government, and that means being a party for the whole country.

"I know we talk a lot about red wall, blue wall. I think the Liberal Democrats say there's a yellow wall as well. There are probably some others. But actually, we're appealing to voters across the whole country.

"That means being in the newspapers, being on the TV channels, being wherever people are, and having conversations with them about our plans for the country.

"Showing that the Labour Party has changed under Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves's leadership and that we're ready to transform the country on their behalf. People are going to have to see something."
