RACHEL Reeves has accused Jeremy Hunt of "lashing out" at the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), as the watchdog prepares to publish a report on the Conservatives' legacy.

Reeves accuses Hunt of 'lashing out' at the OBR

Shadow chancellor Mr Hunt has written to the country's top civil servant, claiming that the OBR risks "straying into political territory and failing to follow due process" over its handling of the review into this year's spending plans.

The review was launched after Ms Reeves replaced Mr Hunt in 11 Downing Street following Labour's election win and a Treasury audit unearthed what she claimed was a £22 billion "black hole" in the plans she inherited.

The OBR's review will be published today alongside the Budget forecasts.
