‘Wouldn’t trust them to run a bath!’ Furious Britons tear into Labour for making a ‘complete mess’ of Britain’s economy

Britons have expressed their outrage at the Labour Government ahead of Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s Budget on November 26.

Speaking to GB News, Londoners hit out at the Government’s economic plans and claimed they “wouldn’t trust them to run a bath”.

Delivering her pre-Budget speech in Downing Street today, Chancellor Rachel Reeves refused to rule out further tax hikes for Britons.

Ms Reeves said: “It is important that people understand the circumstances we are facing, the principles guiding my choices and why I believe they will be the right choices for the country.”

Speaking to the People’s Channel, one Briton told GB News: “It’s a complete mess and we need a massive overhaul of the system.

“Keir Starmer has reneged on every promise and he reneged on every promise he made when he was made leader.”

Another Londoner hit out at Labour, suggesting the “correct way” to get the economy back on track.

He explained: “The fundamentally correct way to solve the problem is to reduce costs.

“But the Government in power right now can’t do that because the electorate just won’t let them, so anybody could have really seen this coming.”

Launching a scathing attack on the Government, one angry Briton told GB News that Labour are “totally useless”.

He fumed: “We know that they’re giving away so much money, spending so much money. Every time Labour have been in, we’ve always ended up bankrupt.

“I wouldn’t trust the Government to run a bath! They’re totally useless.”

Another Londoner admitted he has “always voted Labour”, but is “against them raising taxes” in the next Budget.

He said: “I voted Labour. I’ve always voted Labour, and most of the promises they made to the electorate, they reneged on that. So, yeah, I’m against raising taxes.”

Asked if she was prepared to lose the next election as a result of breaking manifesto promises by raising tax, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said: “The problem of the last 14 years is that political expediency always came above the national interest, and that is why we are in the mess that we are in today.”

She added: “If you’re asking me, what comes first, national interest or political expediency, national interest every single time. And that’s the same for Keir Starmer too.”
