A furious LBC caller has attacked Rachel Reeves and her handling of the economy, claiming that the radio station is focusing too much on Donald Trump and his new global tariffs. Host Nick Ferrari spoke to several callers who wanted to express their opinions about Trump’s sweeping tariffs. Still, one person named Nigel wasn’t happy that the station wasn’t speaking more about Reeves’ “Awful April.” The Chancellor recently set out her plans in the Spring Budget, and Britons are expected to be “worse off” due to tax hikes, with her plans facing increasing scrutiny.

Nigel blasted the Chancellor live on air, saying, “All our focus is on Donald Trump and how bad it is for our economy. What’s going to have more of an effect is how my life is turned upside down by Rachel Reeves!”

Reeves confirmed welfare cuts of £4.8 billion in her latest review but ensured the government’s priority was to restore stability to the public finances.

However, recent forecasts have said that the GDP will go up by just one per cent this year, which obliterates the £9.9 billion financial cushion and suggests a likelihood of further spending cuts.

Carole Malone recently blasted her on GB News, labeling Reeves “mad and deluded.” The Chancellor claimed that she was fixing the foundations of the economy and defended her welfare cuts.

Carole continued, “The economy flatlined. It’s in the toilet. We’ve got a stagnant growth. Living standards are plummeting, and she’s trying to make out we’re living in this country that’s booming. That everything is alright and I’m thinking, ‘What planet are you on?’ She’s talking to us like we’re stupid. Like we don’t understand what is going on. But we do.”

The budget comes after the Chancellor was hit with criticism after she accepted free tickets to see a Sabrina Carpenter concert in London.

On BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme, Rachel defended her decision to accept the free concert tickets because it was “the right thing to do from a security perspective”. Ms Reeves’ visit to the concert comes just months after a row was sparked over ministers accepting freebies. A change is being implemented with new guiding principles on when gifts should be accepted.
