Hello and welcome to coffee house shots the Spectators daily politics

podcast I'm Katie Paul's and I'm joined Shott's The Spectators Daily Politics Podcast.

I'm Katie Paul's and I'm joined by James Hill

and we are in Liverpool for Labour Party Conference.

We've just heard from Rachel Reeves.

It was a chance of this big speech

and here is what she had to say.

Conference, I believe in a better Britain, a Britain of opportunity, fairness and enterprise.

I know that country has sometimes felt far off in recent years

as our growth, our productivity and family finances fall behind.

But it doesn't have to be that way. The British capacity for inventiveness, enterprise and old-fashioned

hard work has not gone away. So believe me when I say, my optimism for Britain burns brighter than ever.

James, do you think this was a change in tack from Rachel Reeves?

Obviously we've had quite a bit of doom and gloom. Is she trying to turn a corner?

I think this was an attempt to try and build a more comprehensive vision for what she wants to do as Chancellor.

She kept referring to that's the Labour Party I lead, that's the Labour government I serve in, the

country I want to build, and I think there was very much more a sense of prudence with a purpose.
