Rachel Reeves has claimed that she will still be the Chancellor in two years time and she is calling critics “misogynistic.”
Reeves has been accused of hiding behind claims of “misogyny” in a veiled attempt to sidetrack voters from her poor performance since last year’s Autumn Budget.
Deputy Editor at Spiked, Fraser Myers said Reeves unpopularity “has nothing to do with her sex,” as voters are not happy with the government’s broken promises before he “nightmare before Christmas.”
The Chancellor has hit back at those who are criticising her saying they will not “beat” her and she will still be in her position in the next two years.
She called pre-Budget media leaks as “incredibly destabilising” as she is on the eve of the Autumn Budget to announce how the government will tax the public for £30 billion.
The Chancellor said, “I’ll show the media, I’ll show the Tories. I will not let them beat me. I’ll be there on Wednesday, I’ll be there next year and I’ll be back the year after that.
I don’t think even I had recognised the misogyny that still exists in public life,” Reeves added.
The Chancellor admitted that not all MPs will like her measures that will be announced tomorrow in the House of Commons.
Reeves told MPs, “A budget involves choices. Choices are things that we do, and also things that we don’t do. I hope that you like every single measure but you might not.
“There might be 99 per cent or 95 per cent that you like, but one or five per cent that you don’t. The budget is a package. It’s not a pick and mix.”
Moaning to The Times Reeves said she has a “target” on her back, this can be “exhausting” she said.
The Chancellor said, “You can see that in the media; they’re going for me all the time. It’s exhausting. But I’m not going to let them bring me down by undermining my character or my confidence.
“I’ve seen off a lot of those boys before and I’ll continue to do so.”
“I’m sick of people mansplaining how to be Chancellor to me,” she added
Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman, accused Reeves of “playing the sexist card” to distract from her “appalling record” in No11 Downing Street.
