I dunno, but I'm not convinced that she does.
This article goes through some of it and also has a link to the Independent that by passes their paywall.

For me Growth is something you get if you make an investent, with the expectation that you get a return, new resources, new opportunities for others' to benefit. Like 'doing up' a wreck of a house.
A primary effect of her measure looks to be to raise house prices across the board, while allowing a few people to take bigger risks in trying to afford one.
Maybe she thinks that'll get votes from th 16 year olds.

Is Reeves’ mortgage gamble her last throw of the dice?
Plans to get more people on the housing ladder should be applauded, writes David Maddox, but the chancellor must take heed of lessons from the past

"Her reforms feel like a return to the pre-2008 model, the result of which was that "the deregulated financial services industry took several risks too many, and the economy was plunged into crisis, taking whole banks with it".
We are not quite repeating the mistakes of the 2000s, when people could "literally self-certify their income". But Reeves is "nodding back in that direction"."

This is desperate stuff. What on earth is she thinking.
Labour also think by letting 16 year olds vote they will win the next election. I think its going to backfire on them as they are more likely to vote green and Reform than labour.
They wont vote labour as they will of had 4 years of granny telling them how labour took away their winter fuel allowance which is why their birthday and Christmas presents were crap this last 4 years and that you can not trust labour. Then it will be their parents telling them how they lost work because of the tax on employers.
They wont vote Conservatives -so that's the only thing labour will get out of it but the fight is not with conservatives - its with Reform.

It's all to play for. I'll say that!

I think she's simply, become backed into a corner.
No more taxes, strict fiscal rules.
But to grow you have to invest. She's lost out on their early bungled claims on WFA and PIP, and everything else is crying out for money.
She'll get a bit from not raising tax thresholds.
She may get less if she raises the base level a little but less than by wage inflation (5%, granuid) . I'd make the case for a small increase on NI - "to pay for the increasing demands on the NHS".
Nothing very encouraging here:
What is Rachel Reeves’s plan for growth?
The UK’s modern industrial strategy was published this week. How does chancellor Rachel Reeves hope it will grow the UK economy, and how successful will it be?

Making mortgages easier to obtain will drive house prices up and push more into stamp duty.
Damned if she do and damned if she don't.
How would you make it easier for first time buyers?

That’s not her goal. Her goal is to increase taxes, driving up prices achieves this.
Young women will likely vote Labor but young men are more likely to vote re form spurred on by the Andrew Tait brand of manhood
Germany will emerge as a much more aggressive player in Europe. Trumpf has done Pootin’s work for him.
