and our political correspondent jack fenwick. another busy day of campaigning, what stood out for you today? there s quite a bit to choose from. it certainly has been another busy day. once again, a theme we ve seen so far in this election is that the economy is really front and centre. we ve heard in the last few minutes how labour have had this letter signed by various business leaders saying they think labour is the way to go in the selection, we ve heard rachel reeves has been out talking about the economy as well. this is all part of labour trying to say they are a changed party since 2019 when jeremy corbyn they are a changed party since 2019 whenjeremy corbyn led the party into that particular election. keir starmer and rachel reeves, and the rest of the labour party think that voters want to be reassured that they will be a safe pair of hands, if you like, if they are in charge of the economy. but there s also a note of caution darrenjones covid labour s shadow chie
