Exclusive: Andy Haldane says Labour ‘sloganeering’ will not empower regions where Reform is making headway
Nigel Farage is the closest to a “tribune for the working class”, the former Bank of England chief economist has said in a stark warning for Keir Starmer’s Labour party.
Andy Haldane said the surge in support for Reform UK in the opinion polls suggested there had been “something of a moral rupture” between the government and many voters, which should spur Starmer to take action with a “radical reset” of its growth plans.
