The Chancer Of The Exchequer

An analysis of chancellor Rachel Reeves' book, 'The Women Who Made Modern Economics', found more than 20 examples of passages from other sources either lifted wholesale, or reworked with minor changes.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting pledged to “hold the door wide open” for private investment in the health service. "We will go further than New Labour ever did.
