There is no economic crisis in the UK. So why is Rachel Reeves making people suffer? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/09/02/there-is-no-economic-crisis-in-the-uk-so-why-is-rachel-reeves-making-people-suffer/ Labour is claiming that cutting the winter fuel allowance and keeping children in poverty has prevented UK economic collapse.

Her decisions are harming vulnerable populations.
