  • Starmer warns UK faces 'generational' threat to security as PM to meet Trump in Washington - Sir Keir will fly to Washington next week to meet with US president Donald Trump

The article from MSN discusses several key issues in UK politics and economics. Labour's Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves has warned that the Conservative government's tax policies are leading to job cuts, particularly in the construction sector, which is already facing a worker shortage. This shortage is putting at risk Labour's plan to build 1.5 million homes over the next five years. The article also touches on the broader economic implications, including the impact of high taxes on business investment and growth. Additionally, there are mentions of political maneuvers, with Labour accusing the Conservatives of economic mismanagement, while the Conservatives counter by highlighting potential flaws in Labour's housing policy. The discussion also extends to the broader political landscape, with references to upcoming elections and the strategies parties are employing to address voter concerns about housing, employment, and economic stability.
