key to this is rachel reeves' determination to be seen as economically responsible.ped the problem is she has effectively beenjumped into the problem is she has effectively been jumped into finding the problem is she has effectively beenjumped into finding more money down the back of the sofa to pay for her spending pledges. two things to bearin her spending pledges. two things to bear in mind this afternoon. rachel reeves says she can find, fund, raise £5 billion by the end of the next parliament by cracking down on tax avoidance, but there are real questions over whether that is accurate. the institute for fiscal studies, an independent think tank in westminster, says you probably can raise some money but it is not clear you can raise the £5 billion labour says they can raise by the end of the next parliament. harry farle , end of the next parliament. harry farley. thank _ end of the next parliament. harry farley, thank you. _ last month was the hottest march ever recorded — that's according to the eu's climate change service copernicus. it's the tenth month in a r

and it brings me back a little bit to christopher hope's interview yesterday with rachel reeves, andeems more bothered about tax evasion and legal tax avoidance even than she does about cracking down on things like universal credit fraud . a really, truly, truly fraud. a really, truly, truly awful story. i just get the horrible feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg now. labour have come out today with a big plan for reviving the high street. the conservatives, in reaction are promising some new laws against the bad guys, will debate all of well, the big part is today i've been talking about shopping, the high street, shoplifting, and much else from the conservatives there's now going to be a standalone offence for enhancing protection for retail workers. a specific law about assaulting retail workers. quite why we need that. i have absolutely no idea. i will ask jacob rees—mogg at the end of the show what the reason for that is. they're also suggesting electronic tags for repeat offenders after their third conviction for shoplifting. i just thought after the first offence might

the shadow chancellor, rachel reeves, says the proposals would help raise an extra £5 billion a year.'s plan to earn extra tax revenue by scrapping the so—called �*non—dom' tax status. so, how will they close the tax gap? our business editor, simonjack, explains what that is and how labour hopes to do it. the so—called tax gap is the difference between what the economy should be generating in tax revenue and what actually gets collected. now, currently, its estimated to be around £36 billion a year. sounds like a huge number but, as a share of the uk economy, it's actually quite small and it's been shrinking over the last 16 years. as you can see here, it'sjust1.5% of gdp. that's much lower than in the us, canada, australia and italy. let's take a closer look. it's a hard thing to tackle. in 2010, the coalition government spent nearly a billion pounds to try and shrink it and, as you can see, it didn't really work. in fact, it started to edge up until 2013, when there was a big crackdown on vat fraud and underpayment, which did work, along with the decline of cash as a means of paymen

you will know them very well, rachel reeves has articulated them, as has every member of the labour fronty are within our fiscal rules and it means we can take the contracts back as they expire so we will not have to pay any money in compensation and, as we set out, we actually think we can deliver significant savings to the taxpayer because of the model is so inefficient. whereas in other sectors like water, where i know people are really anxious and keen for us to nationalise, it would cost the taxpayer billions and billions of pounds and when resources are so scarce at the moment, we think the better and more pragmatic thing to do very quickly is to bring in legislation and regulation of the water companies and criminal sanctions of directors that allow dumping of sewage into the waters so i think all of these demonstrate that where the settlement is failing we are prepared to take bold action but we have the do it in a way that is credible and respectful of taxpayers' money. you talk about people providing challenge and disagreeing, one of those people is current transport secretary m
