Shadow business secretary highlights plan for windfall tax, while cabinet says it will leave major policy decisions to the next PM
Still on the defensive, the shadow business secretary has turned his attention to Labour leader Keir Starmer whose “relentless” work ethic he said “I honestly cannot fault”.
Jonathan Reynolds told LBC:
He is working like he does every day on the job. I honestly cannot fault the man’s work ethic.
I think he is spending some time with his family and that is the right thing to do, but I cannot fault the man’s work ethic, he has been relentless since he became leader of the opposition.
I think you have got to say that in opposition you have got to make the point consistently and regularly, not just for an intervention but for exactly what you would do.
That is what we have had from Keir [Starmer] and the Labour Party from the beginning of this year.
I think when you are in opposition it is not just about calling for something to happen, it is about putting forward exactly what you would do on a costed basis.
