LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) -Labour's finance policy chief Rachel Reeves promised on Monday to "rebuild Britain" if in government, vowing to deploy "iron-clad" fiscal rules, crack down on fraud and work with business to get the country's "future back".

In a speech enthusiastically welcomed at the opposition party's annual conference in the English city of Liverpool, Reeves reassured investors and voters alike that Labour, once seen as spendthrift, could be trusted with the economy.
