Rachel Reeves defended her decisions to cut winter fuel allowance and abandon infrastructure projects, citing the economic inheritance from the previous Conservative government as justification.
Reeves acknowledged that making unpopular decisions was necessary for a better economic future, stating, "I know that not everyone in this hall...will agree with every decision that I make."
She asserted that raising public-sector pay was a crucial decision, emphasizing that it benefited parents, patients, and public services, saying, "it was the right choice for recruitment and retention."
Defending her choices, she stated, "I did not take those decisions lightly. I will never take the responsibilities of this office lightly," asserting her commitment to her role.
