Rachel Reeves is giving a speech explaining why the budget is going to come back for more tax rises. No Chancellors do this with so few days before their budgets…
She tweeted a few minutes ago:
“The Budget this month will focus squarely on the priorities of the British people: cutting waiting lists, cutting the national debt and cutting the cost of living.
Today I will set out the choices our country faces and the values that will guide my decisions.”
Reeves reaching for the NHS panic lever is instructive. Winter is coming…
UPDATE:
Former leader of the SNP in Westminster Ian Blackford told Times Radio why he believes Nicola Sturgeon’s claim that she spent no time in the kitchen and therefore didn’t see any of her husband’s purchases:
“She doesn’t have a passion for cooking.”
