Rachel Reeves

[Jezstatham]

Watching Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips.They said she's not even Rachel from accounts.Shes Rachel from Human Resources .
And that Baroness was a piece of work.

Witch hunt by journalists. Chris Mason on R4 right now... RR misled the public by what she "didn't say" to journalists. Nick Robinson barely picks him up on that, like he would have if he was interviewing a politician. Perhaps what the hard right say about the BBC being biased is true.

I don't see how anyone can look at the creation of a new world record for kite flying, the half truths delivered to the public (and the Cabinet FFS) and the resulting second successive growth-strangling Budget and believe that Reeves / Starmer are at the same time not amongst the most duplicitous and incompetent politicians of their generation.

The only people happy with this Budget are the various social workers, personal injury lawyers, charity apparatchiks and never-had-a-job PPE graduates that constitute the PLP. Anyone at all who works in the private sector or, God forbid, runs a business ought to be treating them with the contempt they deserve.

Are we forgetting the last 10 years now or something?

You may recall I've commented plenty on the various idiots in charge from a couple of decades now.

This one's a corker though. Reeves has now managed to create a situation where a small business owner paying themselves the same amount as an employee will effectively pay more tax and that drawing. I takes a very special Chancellor to build on the distortions and disincentives that already exist to create new and innovative ones.

She is a fucking liability to the country. And a liar.

After campaigning for the fantasy economics in the 2019 Tory manifesto I'm finding your criticism of the current government's handling of fiscal and economic matters extremely hollow to be blunt.

Correct. There’s really nothing to add. A mess of the making of those now complaining while ironically those of us telling them this years ago suffered most but are the least angry and not trying to re write history.

Too shoe

Interesting side point on all of this: Reeves' and Starmer's budget is known as Reeve's budget whilst Truss' and Kwarteng's is known as Truss'. Unintentional misogamy or Unconscious bias or real drive to make sure the 'girl from accounts' doesn't get above her station.

I mean we can all nod along with your sage words but weren’t you part of Conservative and Vote Leave campaigns that have cost the country billions and thrust a pathological liar into No10? 

‘Brexit is costing the UK up to £90bn in lost tax revenues every year, according to new analysis from the House of Commons library.

The analysis, commissioned by the Lib Dems, also found that the average Briton has seen a hit to GDP per head of between £2,700 and £3,700, the Independent reports.’

I think we can safely pop anything you say about fiscal or even political policy in the shredder.
