It’s been a tough week for the Chancellor. Her tears moved the bond markets…
How much easier things were at the start of her promising political career. In June 2006 The Guardian noted:
“What, moreover, is 27-year-old Oxford-educated economist Rachel Reeves, Labour’s candidate in this month’s exciting Bromley and Chislehurst (or, as her website briefly had it, Chiselhurst) byelection, doing with an email address like luvaholic@ hotmail.com?

And to think people call her joyless? Simpler times…
