Reeves hits back at ‘Rachel from accounts’ nickname saying she has spent her life ‘proving people wrong’

Rachel Reeves has hit back at her critics, saying she has spent her life “proving people wrong” when asked if she is hurt by the nickname “Rachel from accounts”.

Her critics have used the nickname to mock the beleaguered chancellor, who has been struggling to persuade the public - and UK businesses - that her plan for the economy is working.
