WATCH: Mel Stride hits back at claims Tories are 'irrelevant' - 'We are opposition!'
The Shadow Chancellor's emphatic denial came as he appeared on The Peoples Channel to discuss the Government's spending plans
Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride firmly rejected suggestions that the Conservative Party has become "irrelevant" during a tense exchange on GB News about Rachel Reeves' Spending Review.
The heated moment came when GB News host Stephen Dixon put to Stride that experts were saying the Spending Review was designed to counter Reform UK's threat, with the Tories now being "an irrelevance".
The Shadow Chancellor's emphatic denial came as he appeared on The Peoples Channel to discuss the Government's spending plans, which included a £39 billion boost for affordable housing and £15.6 billion for public transport projects.
He told GB News: "We're the official opposition. We were in there. I was the person up at the despatch box, holding Rachel Reeves to account yesterday."
