I’m just trying to do my best



Rachel Reeves: ‘I’m sick of the mansplaining on how to be Chancellor'


Rachel Reeves has fired back at her critics, saying she’s “sick of people mansplaining how to be Chancellor to me.”...

She explained: “I’m not a public personality. I’m not in show business. I’m the Chancellor. If you want people to enter politics, you have to remember they’re human beings.

“I’m a mum with two kids. I’m a wife and a daughter. I wasn’t born into this, and I’m just trying to do my best.”


Oh dear, if she thinks that's an appropriate excuse for a failing Chancellor of the Exchequer, then she's a fool. 

But we knew that.

Sooner or later Keir Starmer may acquire a small spine and explain to Rachel Reeves why she has to go. Assuming he doesn't go first of course, but if he does she'll probably follow him through the notorious revolving door.
