Rachel Reeves admits Britain 'can do better' as she scrambles for growth: Chancellor backs Heathrow third runway, 'Europe's Silicon Valley' and Old Trafford overhaul

In a desperate bid to kick-start the stalling economy, Chancellor Rachel Reeves is backing a range of projects in a keynote speech.



The main conceptual idea of the article is a potential clash within the Labour party over economic growth. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is pushing for initiatives like Heathrow's third runway expansion and a tech hub in the Oxford-Cambridge corridor to stimulate the economy. This puts her at odds with eco-activists within the party, some Labour MPs, and even London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who oppose the Heathrow expansion due to environmental concerns. The article highlights the internal conflict within Labour between prioritizing economic growth and environmental sustainability.
