Still waiting for the BBC News push notification. They’ve been absolutely burying her and the Labour government since Day 1 and their coverage of this nonsense since the budget has been insane.
I’m sure they’ll bury this story as quickly as they can and get back to doing the right-wing’s bidding in just a few short hours.
The times et al were reporting that there was a £30b blackhole for a full month before her speech and they were reporting the same thing after it. She supposedly misled them about the size of the blackhole without actually changing their view as to the size of the black hole. You can see an archived version of the exact same commentary on the alleged blackhole that was supposedly caused by her speech a fucking month before the speech below. If she misled them about its size then they can fucking time travel.

Another hit job over nothing. Who would have thought
One week there’s a black hole, the next week she’s lying, it seems like the press will report anything as long as it’s negative for Labour.
I’m not particularly a fan of Rachel Reeves, but this whole story has been ridiculous. Reeves never said there was a black hole, she simply expressed there was not a lot of ‚headroom‘, so difficult decisions would have to be made to improve the situation. Then the budget went ahead and there wasn’t a lot of ‚headroom‘, but what there was, was more than the media and other parties predicted.
It does feel like the media are splitting hairs here because I’m not sure why this is a story at all. Reeves isn’t perfect and I don’t agree with everything she does, but in the grand scheme of things she’s not doing a bad job. After weeks of scaremongering from news outlets, it turns out the budget is actually fine. It’s not anything to celebrate, but equally there’s nothing horrendous in there.
Starting to think the press don’t know what they are talking about.
A bunch of liars accusing someone of lying, this story in a nutshell
Boom!
Maybe the UK press can admit that Reeves budget lifted half a million children out of poverty and taxed millionaires mansions for the first time, and the international money markets said, ‘Looks good, carry on.’
Tory faux outrage should be seen for what it is, jealousy of a grown up approach to national affairs when all they have to offer is division and scapegoating.
She did something that she promised she wouldn’t do, I’m no expert but that kinda seems misleading to me.
When she said there was a 20/30bn massive black hole she meant there wasn’t one. It’s pretty clear right?
And this will be the last we hear of it. In strong contrast to the frenzy preceding.
