Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered her first Budget last Wednesday (Jordan Pettitt/PA)
After fourteen years of trashing everything from the economy to the entire infrastructure of the UK, the Tories have the audacity to criticise someone who at least believes you can't have 'something for nothing'.
No one wants tax rises and the ensuing price increases, but the Tories' tenure of office only highlighted what happens when you try and live 'on the cheap'.
Starving the flow of funds into our country's public services, roads and housing while funding the largest growth of billionaires ever.
Something for which all of us now have to suffer the consequences.
(Well, that's all of us who don't have access to offshore banking!).
