Rachel Reeves has refused to comment on the state of Britain's economic turmoil during her visit to China, as the Tories hit out at Starmer's Chancellor going "missing".
During her visit to bicycle-maker Brompton’s flagship Beijing store earlier today, Reeves failed to comment on British markets, simply opting to declare that her existing fiscal plans would stay in place.
She said: “The fiscal rules laid out in the Budget are non-negotiable.
“Economic stability is the bedrock for economic growth and prosperity.”
The Conservatives have blasted her trip abroad, saying that she had “fled to China” to avoid explaining the state of the nation’s economy
