Labour’s economy kickstart & Euros ‘£16K tickets rush’

Britain’s newly-minted chancellor Rachel Reeves gives her first major speech at the Treasury with the hope of boosting investment in Britain after years of post-Brexit economic turbulence.

The fledgling Labour government is making growth its number one priority as it seeks to bring in extra billions to improve public services.

Speaking to business chiefs at the Treasury, Reeves explained how she wants to rev up Britain’s economy domestically, including by planning reforms, as she sought to boost shaken investor confidence.

For the latest, we’re joined by Evening Standard political editor Nicholas Cecil. 

Plus, the countdown is on for England’s semi-final clash with the Netherlands - with one match ticket being offered for £16,000.

With just days to go, Evening Standard reporter Robert Dex discusses the demand for Euros tickets in host city Düsseldorf and hopes for London ‘fan zones’ to watch the action.
