Rachel Reeves – 2022 Comments on Cost of Living Crisis

The comments made by Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, on 5 January 2022.

That’s why Labour is calling on the Government to immediately remove VAT on household heating bills over the winter months.

On top of the highest tax hikes in 70 years, Conservative complacency is leaving working people paying the price.
