Chancellor Rachel Reeves is under significant scrutiny following a controversial Budget that raised taxes by £40 billion, igniting protests from farmers over inheritance tax changes. While the government defends the Budget as necessary for public services, concerns are mounting due to rising inflation and disappointing growth numbers. Critics question Reeves’s credibility after allegations of embellishing her work history, and businesses express fears that the Budget measures could hinder economic recovery. As MPs gear up for more discussions, the pressure on Reeves intensifies.
