This is honesty? Or just plain evil?

The Chancellor pretends she’s found a Black Hole in the accounts, despite assuring us the Office for Budget Responsibility has been helping to make all her claims ‘fully costed’.
    Turns out half of the hole is due to giving above inflation pay rises to the public sector – something the Tories wouldn’t have done so generously as they’re not funded by the trade unions.
    It also turns out that the Black Hole is as difference-making to the national accounts as the UK’s carbon emissions are to the global climate – i.e. not at all as, like the Reeves £23 billion, they’re well within the error limits of the measurements.
    No surprise that people are wondering if Reeves has created a new world records for an incoming minister to shed all credibility. Just three weeks into the job and more lies than you can shake a whole forest of sticks at.
    And she’s grabbing Winter Fuel Allowances from pensioners.
