Should Rachel Reeves Resign?

Rachel Reeves encountered enraged calls to resign last night after being accused of ‘lying’ to the nation in the run-up to the Budget.

The Chancellor was informed months ago that there was no gap in the public finances, the fiscal watchdog disclosed Wednesday in an unusual step.

But even before her announcement on Wednesday, Ms Reeves had been issuing dire warnings about the state of the economy.

She even opened the door to an income tax hike in an unprecedented early-morning speech, all while plotting a mammoth welfare giveaway in her ‘Benefits Street Budget’.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the Office for Budget Responsibility’s revelation showed Ms Reeves had ‘lied to the public’ and she should be sacked.

Now you can have your say on the Chancellor’s position in the Daily Mail’s latest poll of the day. 

Rachel Reeves should most definitely resign – she has lied to us all, and she is the worst Chancellor ever! However, it’s not just Reeves that has lied, the whole damn lot of them lie all the time – they should all resign and a General Election should be called for.

Perhaps she should go to jail, directly to jail without collecting any money, but of course, she won’t because the gravy train is far too attractive, and what irritates me the most is that after all the damage she has done, the amount of businesses she has helped to close, and the amount of financial distress she has piled onto so many people, she will simply waltz off into the sunset, a multmillionaire with an enormous pension.

All government employees should be sacked if they have been proven to have deceived or lied, full stop, and she should be sacked.

With Labour, lying appears to be the norm; even if the truth were to strike them in the face, they wouldn’t recognise it.

Politics in this country is broken, not because disagreements exist, but because accountability doesn’t.

Leaders who view the truth as a responsibility rather than an annoyance are what the public deserves, and we urgently need a full debate in the House of Commons on honesty and integrity in public life.

Our elected officials have no right to lecture the rest of us about responsibility if they are unable to uphold the most basic requirement of being truthful.

The deterioration of trust in politics is not an accident; it’s the inescapable consequence of a culture where evasion is rewarded, scrutiny is circumvented, and ‘politicking’ has become a justification for behaviour that would get anyone else sacked.

Rachel Reeves is a loose cannon who laughs in the face of respectable people while attempting to deceive.
