Just days before last week’s Budget, Reeves painted a doom-and-gloom picture blaming Brexit, austerity, and Donald Trump for a collapsing economy. She hinted at breaking Labour’s no income tax rise pledge and warned huge spending cuts if taxes stayed put.
This latest leak reveals Reeves’ Budget warnings as little more than a political smokescreen—misleading the public while hiking taxes to fund handouts, not fix the books.
