Rachel Reeves' main claims to be boosting growth, repairing the public finances and getting Britain working again have been methodically and mercilessly shredded.

The markets, it seems, have noticed.

Her adversary is not anyone in the Conservative Party but Richard Hughes , a softly spoken American .

He has put each of her main arguments to the test.

The OBR ’s warning about crowding out’ makes a bigger point: more workers are needed to grow the economy.

Perhaps four million potential workers are ready to come off benefits with the right package.

Hammering the low-paid with taxes may turn out not to be the package.
