Rachel Reeves Is Driving the UK Economy Over a Cliff — and Taking Us With Her

Rachel Reeves — dubbed “Rachel from Accounts” by her critics — promised growth. What we’ve got is the opposite: an economy throttled by punishing tax increases, higher National Insurance contributions, and energy costs so absurd they’re forcing businesses to the brink.
The cost-of-living crisis is biting hard. Ordinary people feel poorer every month.
A Grim Echo of the 1970s
I remember the chaos of James Callaghan’s Labour government in the ’70s. The parallels are striking. Back then, Margaret Thatcher turned the country around — and she didn’t face the modern combination of mass illegal immigration and an exploding welfare bill.
That benefits bill is now colossal. No amount of extra taxation will make it sustainable. And yet, the Left still clings to the fantasy that you can tax and regulate your way to prosperity.You can’t. Strangle the economy, and growth dies.
Ignored Warnings
Financial journalist Liam Halligan has been shouting about the economic cliff-edge for years. Westminster has ignored him. The political class either doesn’t understand the problem — or doesn’t care.
One Immediate Fix
Want to save billions overnight? Stop paying benefits to illegal immigrants. But instead of tough choices, we get more bureaucracy, more tax, and more waste.
Let’s be blunt: intelligence is not the standout quality of most MPs.
Time to Break the Cycle
Love him or hate him, Nigel Farage’s Reform Party is the only real alternative with a plan for growth and border control. If voters keep choosing the same failed parties, they’ll keep getting the same failed results.
Britain needs courage at the ballot box. It’s time to vote Reform.
