Rachel Reeves is facing growing pressure over her handling of the UK economy after the International Monetary Fund warned her not to shift the blame onto Donald Trump for Britain’s economic slowdown. The IMF’s warning comes as Shadow Treasury Minister Gareth Davies hit out at what he sees as domestic policy missteps that have left the country far too exposed to global turbulence.
Speaking to GB News, Davies accused the Chancellor of fuelling instability with what he described as a “£40billion tax raid,” saying her fiscal decisions have made Britain more vulnerable to international shocks rather than protecting it. He didn’t hold back when it came to where he thinks the fault lies.
