The Chancellor will also tell people to hold on to hope for a brighter future as she vows to rebuild Britain from the mess created by the Tories.

And she will spell out her plans to fix the NHS and protect workers from tax rises.

Evoking the spirit of Clement Attlee's post-war government, the Chancellor will say: "In 1945, it was the Labour Party that rebuilt our country out of the rubble of the Second World War.

"In 1964, it was the Labour Party that rebuilt Britain with the white heat of technology. In 1997, it was the Labour Party that rebuilt our schools and hospitals.

"Today, it falls to this Labour government to rebuild Britain again."
