Rachel Reeves’s spring statement is almost as unpopular as the disastrous mini-Budget that collapsed Liz Truss’s short-lived premiership, a new poll suggests.
Just one in five people had a positive view of the chancellor’s latest fiscal statement – in which she unveiled a fresh round of cuts to benefits – while 49 per cent of those polled by BMG Research for the i newspaper viewed it negatively. A third of Labour voters also disapproved of the chancellor’s announcements.
