Reeves is benefitting from people focusing on the wrong aspect of the OBR story. Yes, she lied to to the country in her speech of 4 November. But the major issue is the briefings that were delivered on 14 November to manipulate the markets. That's where she's in serious trouble.

Getting welfare spending under control is critical. We must make work pay and, as this Labour Government loses control of a ballooning welfare budget, it will ensure work does not pay. https://t.co/7IVeltuy0K "The @csjthinktank analysis found that a family with three children,

This morning, there's a debate raging about whether Rachel Reeves can survive the revelation that she deliberately lied to the voters, the markets and Parliament.

A big thank you to @MPIainDS for joining me this week to discuss Ryan Cornelius. Iain has been instrumental in calling for the release of an innocent 71 year old man who has been detained - under torturous conditions- in Dubai since 2008. I have spent time with Ryan’s beautiful

Yet more evidence, as if we needed it, that the Chancellor must be sacked. For months Reeves has lied to the public to justify record tax hikes to pay for more welfare. Her Budget wasn’t about stability. It was about politics: bribing Labour MPs to save her own skin. Shameful.
BREAKING The OBR says it informed Rachel Reeves as far back as ***September 17*** that the downgrade in productivity forecasts was offset by 'increases in real wages and inflation'. The deficit was in fact just £2.5billion By October 31 that deficit had turned into net positive

The results are in...this was the Benefits Street Budget: Rachel Reeves has raised taxes to a record high, in order to spend more money on welfare. It is totally unsustainable and will make the whole country poorer.

Today’s Budget from this Labour Government is a hammer blow to working people across the UK. This is a Budget built on stealth taxes and squeezed household incomes. The Chancellor has frozen income-tax thresholds for years to come, meaning millions of workers will be dragged

Today’s Budget was a total humiliation for Rachel Reeves. She will go down as the worst Chancellor this country has ever had. Her position is now untenable and she knows it👇

Rachel Reeves has broken her promises not to put up taxes. And all to fund more welfare. She should resign. But if she doesn't have the decency to do that, Keir Starmer should sack her.

🗣️@MPIainDS “It has become clear that welfare is now in crisis. Before the pandemic, my welfare reforms brought workless households down to a record low and meant 100,000s more children grew up seeing a parent go out to work. The Government must urgently correct its course.”

Labour’s Employment Rights Bill was designed in a backroom with the trade unions, not in the real world. None of it is about giving ordinary workers a fair deal. It is a pro-union, anti-business, anti-growth blueprint. That is why Conservatives will repeal every job destroying,

Following the disastrous release of a proposed peace plan by Putin and Trump, @mobbs_mentality has suggested that the document was “not originally written in English”, pointing to transliteration errors, Russian political vocabulary and phrasing that is commonly used by Moscow.
I uploaded verified images of the “peace” document to Grok. I prompted, “Analyze this document from a logistic perspective. It is in English, but assess whether or not it has been translated. If so, what is the likely language of the original?” 🧵

This proposed peace plan by Putin and Trump is the worst example of appeasement. If Russia gets the Donbas, then there will be nothing to stop Putin from rolling up the rest of Ukraine. The rest of NATO needs to tell Trump that there will be no Nobel Peace prize for appeasement.
