Hypocrite Reeves Demanded ‘Emergency Budget’ After Economy Shrank 0.1% Under Tories
Reeves, Starmer and the rest of the Cabinet have scuttled off to Chequers for an ‘away day’ today, just as fresh ONS figures reveal the economy shrank by 0.1% in May. Economists had forecast a 0.1% rise. Reeves now calls the numbers “disappointing”…
Co-conspirators may remember back in 2022 when Reeves declared that “anything less than an emergency budget” after the Tories’ own ‘away day’ – following a 0.1% GDP dip – would mark total “failure”. She clearly thought that figure was a bit more than “disappointing” back then…
Emergency budget on Monday then?
