Rachel Reeves should be crying. She has taken money from pensioners, was planning to take it from the sick and disabled, and has angered the farmers who keep the nation fed. She has raided independent schools, many of which cater to children with special educational needs.
Whether that’s why she was crying remains to be seen. But it all seemed to kick off when Sir Keir Starmer refused to say whether he could guarantee her future as Chancellor. Her face also appeared puffy beforehand.
Anyway, the tears sent the markets into another downward spiral. The fact that she couldn’t tell us why was the bigger issue.
Now you know how we all feel, Rachel we’ve all been crying since the Labour Government took office. And to think, left-wing advocates like Carol Vorderman claimed ‘the grown-ups are back in charge.’
Nana Akua said after another four years "we will all be in tears"

Keir Starmer stood on a plinth of integrity and change. Little did we realise, what he actually meant was just to change his mind on everything.
He said last year: "Now our country has voted decisively for change. For national renewal and a return of politics to public service."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
- 'There is no excuse for incitement to violence or racial hatred to be broadcast on TV'
- 'Britain is in the midst of an unprecedented immigration wave that is transforming the country,' says Nana Akua
- 'Prevents guidelines are ridiculous it is more likely terrorists would come here via dinghy,' says Nana Akua
Public service? More like help yourselves. They kicked things off with Lord Ali and “freebie-gate,” with Keir Starmer being the worst offender — though many of his frontbench had their snouts in the trough too.
Since then, we’ve seen constant U-turns. Now, I’m not saying you should never U-turn, but in all these cases, it was obvious from the outset that they were bad decisions.
Policy number one: the winter fuel allowance. Clearly a damp squib, which is why it was left out of the manifesto. Had it been included, the majority probably wouldn’t have been so large, it caused a major divide.
Then there was the grooming gangs inquiry. It was glaringly obvious that it was needed, yet they dug their heels in until the inevitable happened. It was just common sense they knew the public wouldn’t let this one go, but still they stubbornly resisted until they were forced to backtrack.
Smashing gangs isn't working, which we all knew it wouldn't. Even though Patrick Christys could find them.
Somehow, Border Command, or whatever it’s now called, is still without anyone properly in charge. A big mistake.
Scrapping the Rwanda plan on day one and pretending a third-party processing centre wasn’t needed has backfired badly.
Channel crossings are up 50 per cent compared to this time last year.

PAThen there was the Chagos Islands surrender, the fishing giveaway and now even the mainstream press is turning against him.
Well, honestly. And then this morning he said: "But I also know that at times, it doesn't feel like Britain is fair enough for those people the people who are getting on with it.
"And that's what drives me forward at home, representing our interests abroad, and putting you first. Making Britain fair for you again. Building more affordable homes. Fixing the NHS. Securing our borders.
"Giving your kids more opportunities. Cleaning up our streets. Putting more money in your pocket."
Are you having a laugh? Here’s to another four years - we’ll all be in tears.
