Downing Street’s obsession with growth has created a new nexus of power in Westminster .

Rachel Reeves , the first female Chancellor, has built her influence in No 10.

She has formed an impenetrable group of allies at the heart of government.

Sources say the Keirleaders are friends, meet socially outside of work, and believe unquestioningly in the growth strategy devised by Morgan McSweeney .

There is a rising sense that Ms Rayner's vision for growth does not align with Ms Reeves’s plan.

She has repeatedly made the case for devolving growth policy to local mayors.

But those requests have not been welcomed by Ms Reeves , who is looking for “quick wins”.

Sir Keir is not expected to resign over Downing Street’s abrupt change of tone on green policy.

Few would dispute that growth should be the top priority for the Labour government.

But seven months into power, the personal impact of the strategy is setting in.
