"I'm angry that Donald Trump has chosen to go to war in the Middle East a war that there's not a clear plan of how to get out of. It's why we didn't want to enter this."
"The decision is causing real hardship for people now, with higher inflation, weaker economic growth and lower tax receipts among the potential consequences."
"The government is monitoring the situation closely and trying to bring the oil and gas into the UK so that those supplies are there and to try and get the prices down."
Rachel Reeves expressed anger over President Trump's decision to engage in war with Iran, highlighting the absence of a clear exit strategy. She noted that this decision could lead to significant economic hardships, including higher inflation and lower tax receipts. Relations between the US and UK have soured, particularly after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's refusal to allow US offensive strikes from UK bases. Reeves emphasized the government's efforts to manage energy supplies and costs amid rising living expenses, while opposition parties propose various measures to alleviate financial pressures on households.
