WATCH: Rachel Reeves accuses the Tories of 'gaslighting' Britain over the state of the economy

Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves has accused the Conservatives of "gaslighting" the nation on the economy, as she gave a keynote speech in London today.

Criticising the state of the economy, Reeves claimed: "The Conservatives are gaslighting the British public. They say we've turned a corner and they ask people to stick with the Conservative Party.

"But it is those very conservatives who are set to leave the average household £870 worse off through stealth taxes and increases in council tax. The Prime Minister claims that he is delivering for the country, but the British people did not order what this Prime Minister is delivering."
