'Rachel Reeves is about to make this whole country weep,' says Patrick Christys

Rachel Reeves increased taxes by a record £40billion in her first Budget. It's the highest tax burden in modern history.

She said that she worked as an economist at the Bank of England before entering politics.

She exaggerated the length of time she worked there, she worked in the complaints department.

She said she believes in sound money and in public spending that's kept under control.

Labour has borrowed £83.6billion this financial year. They voted down welfare reforms.

We now have a welfare bill that's around £303billion a year. No wonder she was brought to tears in Parliament.

Then, after her budget, she said this: “We have now drawn a line under the inheritance I faced.

"Public finances are now on a firm footing, our public services are funded properly, and we’ve set the envelope for those services for the rest of this Parliament, which means we won’t have to come back for more.”

And now, today, she finally appears to have admitted that there will be more tax rises.

In fact, if reports are correct, she is set to raise taxes more than any other G7 country, higher than Germany, the US, France, Italy, Japan, and Canada.

There are warnings that she will raise income tax and may limit the amount you can save tax-free each year.

But remember, as your taxes go up, nearly £10billion is being spent every year on benefits for foreigners.

Nearly 17 per cent of all Universal Credit payments go to non-UK citizens.

Migrants who have arrived since January 2021 could end up costing taxpayers £234billion. Deportees are being given free arts and crafts classes, and even a welfare buddy.

So don’t worry when you see your taxes rise, you can sleep easy knowing you’ve paid for someone to give an Afghan a hug.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re even paying for someone to read them a bedtime story on their flight home.

Rachel Reeves is about to make this whole country weep.
