Chancellor Reeve is under heavy fire today after unveiling an emergency budget that sparked outrage across Parliament and concern from economists. During a heated debate in the House of Commons, MPs slammed her economic record and accused her of reckless spending, failed promises, and deepening the country’s financial crisis.

A prominent MP began by thanking the Speaker before laying out a brutal analysis of the Chancellor’s economic handling. He reminded the House that just a year ago, the UK had the fastest-growing economy in the G7.

But since the Chancellor took over, that momentum has been halved. According to the Office for Budget Responsibility, growth is down, inflation is now running at double the target set during the last Conservative government, and unemployment is expected to rise not just this year, but in the years ahead—directly contradicting her so-called “back-to-work” agenda.

He accused the Chancellor of failing to control borrowing, only now pretending to rein in spending later in the forecast to calm the markets. “What will the markets think of your latest promises, after everything that’s happened?” he asked, echoing widespread skepticism. He added that she’s blamed everything and everyone—war in Ukraine, tariffs, President Trump, President Putin, even her own party—but never herself.

“What the British people know,” he said, “is this is a result of your own choices. You are the architect of your own misfortune.” He didn’t hold back, highlighting her role in talking down the economy, inventing a fictional £22 billion black hole to justify policy shifts, and borrowing and taxing like it was the 1970s. “Enterprise has been crushed on the altar of your ineptitude,” he said.

He listed businesses already impacted Morrisons cutting 200 jobs, Tesco 400, and Sainsbury’s losing 3,000. Confidence among small businesses is now at its lowest level outside the pandemic. But it’s not just the private sector suffering. He noted that charities, GP practices, pharmacists, and even hospices are struggling under new financial pressures. “This didn’t need to happen,” he stressed.

Turning to welfare, he criticized the government’s chaotic reform plans. “We had a plan. You rushed yours out without thinking,” he said, claiming the Chancellor’s latest welfare changes were driven not by principle, but desperation. With no impact assessment provided last week, he questioned whether the numbers were even ready or whether they were buried to avoid public backlash.

He ended with a stinging indictment: forecasts show growth is down, inflation is up, borrowing costs are up, and business confidence is shattered. He accused the Chancellor of repeatedly breaking promises—from borrowing and tax increases to national insurance and winter fuel payments. “We are all paying the price for her broken promises,” he said. “To govern is to choose. And she has made all the wrong choices.”

The political fallout from this budget is expected to continue, with questions now being raised not just about the Chancellor’s policies, but about her future in the role.
