The Daily T
Rachel Reeves’s doomed Spring Statement
The Chancellor of the Exchequer will deliver the 2025 Spring Statement in the House of Commons on Tuesday.
Rachel Reeves' plan is to tell us all the things Labour has achieved so far, but British households and businesses are increasingly pessimistic about the state of the economy. Sluggish growth and ever higher borrowing costs mean cuts, cuts and more cuts are on the way.
Kamal and Camilla speak to the owner of a hairdressing business who’s already been affected by Rachel Reeves’ autumn budget and is dreading the new rules that come into place next week.
Plus, we’ll be joined by The Telegraph's Janet Daley for her reaction to Donald Trump’s inner circle accidentally adding a journalist to a group chat discussing top-secret war plans.
