Said it before, I still believe it now: Rachel Reeves will be gone by Christmas. Beth Rigby Ed Conway Paul Johnson Chris Mason Robert Peston




I think this may be one of my favourite Paul Johnson understatements “The Chancellor’s speech was full of numbers, few of them useful” Certainly in education plenty of gaps around #send - FE colleges - Universities - plus non core bits of school funding

Just spoke to Jim Diamond at LBC about the need for a wealth tax. Rachel Reeves has made her own self imposed fiscal rules. It's obscene to be squeezing international aid & development at the same time as spending money on more bombs.







And this is the key thing: Rachel Reeves can tell The Labour Party MPs to sell whatever vision she has in her head to voters but the simple fact is: reality is very different. You can’t say “things are better, honest”, when people are struggling & cost of living hurting. #OutOfTouch
