Why are you questioning Reeves’ credibility when the claim is directly from the OBR? Fan of defending Tories are we dave?

It's her claim in her words, not the OBRs.

That said, I know she's used to copying other people's words and presenting them as her own, hiding her sources rather than attributing them. So that's progress I suppose.

personal tax thresholds to increase with inflation.

more pounds in working peoples pockets.

I think you should wait until the charities that deal with poverty weigh in with their conclusion before you start declaring a Soviet.

This budget will hammer the poor and elderly.

Everything I’ve heard so far very positive.

Watch the scumbags roll up and pick at anything they can.

The grown ups are back in charge led by a sensible chancellor.
