Ms Reeves will hail the project as she spells out her plans to get the economy firing, which is expected to include backing the expansion of Heathrow Airport.

She is expected to talk up Britain's "huge potential" and add: "For too long, that potential has been held back. For too long, we have accepted low expectations, accepted stagnation and accepted the risk of decline.

"We can do so much better. Low growth is not our destiny. But growth will not come without a fight."
