Interview with Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves

The transcript highlights the disparity between the UK government's frequent announcements and the lack of actual progress on infrastructure projects like the Northern Powerhouse Rail. Despite being announced multiple times over seven years, there has been no tangible progress. The speaker calls for concrete action to match the rhetoric, emphasizing the importance of delivery for the North of England. The frustration is palpable as other regions see projects completed while the North lags behind. The need for investment in transport, including HS2 and bus services, is stressed, but it must be accompanied by real action to be meaningful.
