‘No new Austerity’ Reeves to Offer a more Positive Version of Britain Amid Doom-and-Gloom
‘No new austerity,’ is the trending story across the UK today as the chancellor is to give a speech in which she will promise there will not be a return to austerity. The newspapers preview Chancellor Rachel Reeve’s speech saying she will offer a more positive version of the future after dire warnings about the economy since Labour came to power.

The story dominates every front page as well as online and will likely continue to do so for much of the week, as the British public looks to the government to understand what the future of Britain will look like.

The reaction
Almost all the front pages lead on a preview of the chancellor’s upcoming speech. Many pick up on her promise that the country will not return to austerity.
The more right-leaning publications continue to pile on the pressure over the scrapping of the winter fuel allowance whilst highlighting the sleaze row the new government has been embroiled in for the past few weeks – accepting free Premier League tickets, clothes and glasses donations as well as holidays paid for by wealthy party donors.
The left-leaning media looks for a more positive angle whilst noting the damage to the country under a Conservative government that unleashed austerity on the country 13 years ago.
Online there is a mixed reaction as the public awaits for Reeves to deliver her speech.
