The Tory leader Kemi Badenoch absolutely slammed Rachel Reeves in the House of Commons calling her “spineless” and “shameless” after breaking her pledges not to increase taxes.
The Tory leader congratulated the Chancellor for delivering her second damaging Budget and said she hopes Reeves enjoyed it as “it should be her last,” adding, “if she had any decency she would resign.”
Badenoch blasted Sir Keir Starmer saying is “he had a backbone, he would sack her” then said Reeves delivered a “nightmare before Christmas” and she hit out at Reeves for “wallowing in self-pity.”
The Conservative leader said, “We’ve been fed puff pieces in the Times and FT showing a woman wallowing in self-pity, whining about ‘mansplaining’ and ‘misogyny’. Let me explain to the Chancellor woman-to-woman, people out there aren’t complaining because she’s female, they’re complaining because she’s utterly incompetent.”
Badenoch added, “She is spineless, shameless and completely aimless!”
Badenoch said, “It’s a total humiliation” and Reeves is making the UK into a “shambolic laughing stock” among international investors.
Badenoch continued, “She has become the first Chancellor in history to release the Budget ahead of time.
“This is extraordinary. It tells you everything you need to know about her grip on the Treasury. If she doesn’t resign for breaking her promises she should sure as hell go for this.
Last year she put up taxes by £40bn, the biggest tax rise in history, she promised she wouldn’t come back for more. Today she’s broken every single one of those promises.”
Badenoch fumed that Reeves will go down in the history books as the “worst ever Chancellor.”
She added, “Household income is down, borrowing goes up every year. Labour are hiking taxes to pay for welfare. This is a Budget for benefit street paid for by working people.”
