YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Lewis Goodall goes head-to-head with Chief Secretary to the Treasury James Murray over whether Rachel Reeves deliberately misled the public.

It comes amid a growing row over pre-Budget speculation that Rachel Reeves faced as much as a £20 billion gap in meeting her fiscal rules, which the Chancellor denies.

Those rumours were fuelled by Ms Reeves when she used a speech on November 4 to suggest tax rises were needed because poor productivity growth would have "consequences for the public finances".

But the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) on Friday said it had informed the Chancellor as early as September 17 that an improved tax take from growing wages and inflation meant the shortfall was likely smaller than initially expected, and told her in October it had been eliminated altogether.
