The real reason for Rachel Reeves’ class war

Following Sam’s scoop that the chancellor is considering tax rises and spending cuts in the budget – who is she actually targeting to fill the black hole?

Anne has the latest from the US as she travels with Rachel Reeves to Washington.

The duo also chat about Ms Reeves’s economic position, her language and the likelihood of her ever getting out of the dreaded ‘doom loop.’

Elsewhere, the prime minister publishes three witness statements by the deputy national security advisor in an attempt to end the China spy row, but has it left more questions than answers?

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
