UK: Labour 'fighting hard for every vote' says Rachel Reeves as local election hopes run high

Labour are “fighting for every vote” in Thursday’s local elections, Rachel Reeves said last night as the Tories braced for a bruising set of results.

The Shadow chancellor blasted the Tories for failing to deliver on the promise of “levelling up” - as it can be revealed they blew £1.1 million boasting about the policy in ads in just a matter of months.

She told the Sunday Mirror it would be “great” if rumours came true of Rishi Sunak finally calling a general election in a bid to distract from a drubbing, saying: “We're ready. I think the country are more than ready."

She added: "Rishi Sunak is running scared of the voters. People want change, you can't hide from the voters forever."
