'TOTAL HUMILIATION' | Rachel Reeves EVISCERATED By Kemi Badenoch

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the Budget was a “total humiliation” for Rachel Reeves and “if she had any decency she would resign”. Kemi Badenoch said Rachel Reeves had raised taxes to pay for welfare in an announcement she termed a “Budget for Benefits Street”. The Conservative leader cited the name of a Channel 4 show from the 2010s which focused on life on a street in Birmingham as she said workers would be paying for handouts. Mrs Badenoch said the package of measures were a “smorgasbord of misery” from the Chancellor. She said: “Today she has announced a new tax raid of £26 billion. They’re all cheering. Household income is down. Spending policies in this Budget increase borrowing in every year. That smorgasbord of misery we have heard from her can be summed up in one sentence. Labour are hiking taxes to pay for welfare. This is a Budget for Benefits Street, paid for by working people. “This Budget increases benefits for 560,000 families by an average of £5,000. They are hiking taxes on workers, pensioners and savers to pay for handouts to keep their backbenchers quiet.” Mrs Badenoch was heckled by Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash (Hartlepool), who shouted the Government was “taking children out of poverty”. The Tory leader continued: “They can chunter all they like. These are the same backbenchers who cheered last year when she taxed jobs and left more than 100,000 people without an income.” Have you got a story?
