Rachel Reeves' economic doom loop

from The Daily T

In bad news for the Chancellor Rachel Reeves, inflation shot back up in January, with prices rising by 3%. Who could have possibly seen this coming, after Labour doubled down on net zero, raised national insurance by £25 billion and hiked the minimum wage?But where Labour is seemingly more economical is with the truth. Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds appears to have been caught in a lie, embellishing his CV by claiming he was a solicitor when he never finished his training.Kamal and Camilla set out why the inflation rate, and ministers’ lax attitude to the truth, could be a serious issue for the Government - and how the UK economy can be salvaged.Plus, it’s a question that bitterly divides Britain: how to make a good cuppa.
