Today, Rachel Reeves, Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, visited Gloucester to show her support for Labour candidate Alex McIntyre in the upcoming election on 4 July.
Addressing a group of enthusiastic local activists, Rachel Reeves emphasised the transformative vision that the Labour Party under Keir Starmer’s leadership holds for places like Gloucester and the nation. In her speech, she highlighted the party’s core commitments and the urgent need for change:
“Keir Starmer has fundamentally changed the Labour Party, and now he is ready to change the country. Our manifesto offers a credible plan to turn Britain around after fourteen years of Conservative mismanagement. The choice is clear: five more years of Conservative chaos or stability with Labour to end the turmoil and rebuild places like Gloucester and Britain.”
Following the speech, Alex McIntyre expressed his gratitude for Rachel’s visit and reiterated his commitment to addressing key local issues:
“It was brilliant to welcome Rachel to Gloucester today. The cost of living and supporting local businesses are some of my top priorities here. It was great to discuss these with Rachel, and if elected on 4 July, I look forward to working closely with her to make Gloucester a thriving city once again.”
The visit by Rachel Reeves marks a significant boost to Alex McIntyre’s campaign, highlighting Labour’s focus on economic stability and community support as key pillars for the upcoming election.
