The chancellor has set out plans to rewrite the government's fiscal rules in next week's budget.
Rachel Reeves said there will be a change to the way debt is measured which will allow her to increase borrowing for public investment.
"We will pay for day-to-day spending through tax receipts - that is something the previous government didn't even try to do let alone meet," she said.
