Her post is ridiculous & when you add that the BBC have just reported the following quote from a Senior OBR Official speaking to the Treasury Select Committee
“Reeves did not mislead on challenges facing UK ahead of Budget, says OBR official” it makes her look even worse.

OBR accepts full responsibility for posting budget details early.
Nothing to do with Rachel Reeves or the government but the Tories will drone on endlessly for the next 50 years about it being the fault of a "shambolic" Chancellor / Labour Party.

That is how they get away with opposing membership of the ECHR and how Brexit happened - most people don't understand the benefits and believe simple answers that actually bear little relationship to the truth.

The damage has been done, due in no small part by political commentators on all tv channels and newspaper media. They have influenced the nation to their point of view and massively damaged the government and the chancellors reputation. They have skewed the debate to what THEY think happened.
