Rachel Reeves will promise to speed up planning processes to revive the economy as she branded the Tories the 'single biggest obstacle' to the economy. We will also hear from numerous members of the Labour frontbench at the party's conference.
Nursing union leaders have criticised Sir Keir Starmer's plan to cut waiting lists by encouraging staff to work overtime - saying 'too often the NHS runs on the goodwill of staff'.The Labour leader said he would pump an extra £1.1bn into the NHS to allow staff to work evening and weekend shifts.He said his overtime plan would enable the health service to provide an extra two million operations, scans, and appointments in the first year of a Labour government.
But the Royal College of Nursing , which represents 500,000 members, was critical of the proposals, arguing nursing staff already work 'so much overtime that is never paid' and that a 'change in this culture is needed'.'As part of their shift patterns, weekend work is routine for many,' the union said.
