Rachel Reeves faced accusations of ‘going into hiding’ after the UK economy stagnated due to her tax increases.
On another disappointing day for Labour, official data revealed that economic output remained unchanged in July, prompting business leaders to warn that the Government ‘cannot tax its way to growth.’ Despite the grim figures, the Chancellor remained silent, although a Treasury spokesperson acknowledged that the economy ‘does feel stuck.’
Ms. Reeves’ lack of response to the situation—just ahead of what is expected to be a harsh Budget with more tax hikes in November—provoked anger.
