Badenoch takes aim at Reeves over chancellor's complaints of misogyny
"Kemi Badenoch has launched an extraordinary personal attack on Rachel Reeves just moments after the chancellor delivered her widely anticipated Budget, accusing her of whining over misogyny claims. The Conservative leader diverted from criticising Labour's raft of tax hikes on Wednesday to tell MPs the chancellor was wallowing in self-pity. Responding to the chancellor's wide-ranging economic announcement, Ms Badenoch told the Commons, people are not complaining because she is female, they are complaining because she is utterly incompetent."
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.Your support makes all the difference. Kemi Badenoch has launched an extraordinary personal attack on Rachel Reeves just moments after the chancellor delivered her widely anticipated Budget, accusing her of whining over misogyny claims."
Kemi Badenoch attacked Chancellor Rachel Reeves immediately after the Budget, accusing Reeves of whining about misogyny and calling her incompetent. Badenoch shifted focus from criticising Labour's tax proposals to accuse the chancellor of 'wallowing in self-pity' and told MPs people complained because Reeves was 'utterly incompetent'. Reeves, the UK's first female chancellor, said she was tired of being mansplained after facing misogynistic criticism before the Budget. Former home secretary James Cleverley acknowledged abuse of female politicians and supported Reeves' view on misogyny. The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground journalism and avoid paywalls.
