"She needed to make sure that everything that she was spending, she could afford" Chancellor Rachel Reeves tells Nick Robinson about childhood memories of her mother's budgeting at home Listen to #PoliticalThinking in full on BBC Sounds 🎧

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds OMG - she really is Rachel from accounts!

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Where’s Robinson making the point that a national economy and a household budget are not the same. I’m sure he did that when Tories talked about austerity.

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds She is clueless. I note that for all economics experience whenever she talks about her economic knowledge she references her mum at the kitchen table.

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Very sensible. here’s enough money for groceries but unfortunately we can’t buy sweets this week / heres enough money for foreign wars but unfortunately old people can’t heat their homes. Most normal people can understand and relate with Ms Reeves , it’s about being sensible!

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds This is gaslighting the public with Thatcher's strategy of kidding on a household is the same as a currency issuing govt. Poor, very poor show, but she's just a red tory now.

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Wow, she's just like me. We both make our own lunches and neither of us should be running a country's economy. It's all very relatable.

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds She's a total fraud

@bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds It's a shame that some of it didn't rub off. In years passed she's complained about not being able to manage on her and her husbands six figure salaries. It's a bit of a giveaway, the only surprise is that Starmer didn't heed the warning.
