Chancellor John Healey to promise ‘new age of industrialisation’ in speech to Labour conference – UK politics live

Healey to announce new facilities to maintain nuclear submarines on the Clyde Good morning. John Healey , the chancellor, is the main speaker at the Labour conference. He was a surprise appointment to replace Rachel Reeves, he is unveiling his budget four weeks on Wednesday, and some of the pre-briefing suggests when the budget does come, it will be a relatively low-key affair, with a lot of decisions postponed until the spending review next year. And so we are definitely not expecting huge announcements at lunchtime today.
