will make stimulating economic growth its mission while limiting bureaucracy to make it easier to invest in the country, the Treasury chief said Monday.
Reeves, Britain’s first female Treasury chief and a former Bank of England economist, said sustained economic growth was the only way to improve living standards for all and to rebuild the country's stretched and underfunded public services.She said she is taking immediate action to deregulate planning rules to make it easier to build infrastructure, housing and energy projects.
Reeves has pledged to set a mandatory target of 1.5 million new homes in England over the next five years, and reverse a ban on onshore wind energy developments. David Axelrod didn’t mince words when the subject of Joe Biden’s chances of re-election came up during a Sunday appearance on CNN, saying he doesn’t believe the president understands he can’t beat Donald Trump in November.“There are certain immutable facts of life—and those were painfully obvious on that debate stage—and the president just doesn’t seem to come to—he hasn’t come to grips with it. He’s not winning this race,” Axelrod said on Inside Politics.
