40 minutes ago Macron’s business policies made him ‘president of the rich’. Rachel Reeves, beware | Phillip Inman

The chancellor rightly wants to stimulate the economy by boosting growth. But she would be unwise to do it at the expense of the poorestThere is a danger that Labour will suffer the Macron effect when the budget is unveiled at the end of the month.
