The mess Rachel Reeves finds herself in over the forthcoming Budget is a direct consequence of Labour's dishonesty during the election campaign.
The embarrassing mess Rachel Reeves finds herself in over the forthcoming Budget is a direct consequence of Labour ’s dishonesty during the election campaign.
With less than a fortnight until the Budget, every Whitehall official is rummaging down the back of the proverbial sofa, searching for cash to pay for her Left-wing plans.Reeves and Sir Keir insisted their commitments were fully costed and that it would be possible to boost public spending without raising taxes for ordinary people
While the Government is desperate to show a united front, there are tensions within Cabinet. Several ministers complain that their departments face shrunken settlements. But of course they’ll be tighter: Ms Reeves approved generous public sector wage rises. These ministries must cut their cloth accordingly.
Ms Reeves claims she has no choice. But does Britain need to splurge billions helping other countries tackle climate change? This is a choice – and an expensive one. The Foreign Secretary travels to Beijing today, having criticised the Tories for refusing to engage with the regime. His naivety is barely believable.
