Rachel Reeves, "Upon my arrival at the Treasury three weeks ago there were things I did not know, things the party opposite covered up"
"Covered up from the opposition.. Covered up from this house.. Covered up from the country"
"The total pressure on budgets across a range of areas was an additional £35 billion"
"Once you account for slippage in budget and a reserve of £9 billion, it means, we have inherited a projected over spend of £22 billion"
"Not in the future, now. A £22 billion hole now.. That was covered up by the party opposite"
"If left unaddressed, it would mean a 25% increase in the budget deficit this year"
"The reserve, spent three times over, only 3 months into the financial year, and they told no-one"
"Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt claimed the books were open how dare they"
"There are clear instances of specific budgets were overspent... And crucially the OBR was not aware of their forecast"
