A letter from the Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) saying, as clearly as diplomatic language allows, that Rachel Reeves is right about the in-year black hole, and we were lied to by the previous government.
"We were made aware of the extent of these pressures at a meeting with the Treasury last week" .... i.e. The Tories lied to the OBR and they lied to the public.
