'Black hole lies' denied by Chancellor

- by WILL STONE

WRIGGLING Rachel Reeves has been forced to insist she didn't lie to the public before her Budget.

The Chancellor insisted she had not deliberately misled anyone amid rising fury of how she softened up the public for monster tax hikes.

She said “of course I didn’t” lie, despite spending weeks talking up how the Office for Budget Responsibility had found a huge black hole in the books.
