EXCLUSIVE Rachel Reeves has told me she is looking at both tax rises and spending cuts in the Budget -- in her first interview since being briefed on the scale of the black hole by the OBR. The Chancellor told Sky News that “of course, we're looking at tax and spending as well” when asked how she would deal with challenges in the November 26 Budget. She was speaking to me as part of Sky's year long series on blockages to growth. Do watch this masterful film by @JoeCookJ @tsueyek - for the body language and insights as well as her words. Reeves also appeared to concede the existence of a tax doom loop by saying she wants to break out of it. Asked if she could promise she won't allow the UK economy to get stuck in a doom loop cycle, she replied: “Nobody wants that cycle to end more than I do, Sam.” She said that’s why she was trying to grow the economy, and only when I pushed her a third time did she suggest she “would not use those (doom loop) words” because the UK has the strongest growing economy in the G7.

When developing our work on single-use vapes @EmmaPrach and I consulted over 700 young people from across Scotland. Our survey found that 73% of them thought that a complete ban would be the most effective way to reduce the environmental impacts of these devices. #ManyVoices
