Is Rachel Reeves the Prime Minister’s lucky general?

Napoleon is supposed to have declared that he’d “rather have lucky generals than good ones.” Here in the UK, it seems we have a Chancellor who fits just such a mould.

Only the most loyal Labour MPs would declare that Rachel Reeves is a good Chancellor, and in doing so they’d be setting themselves firmly against the grain of public opinion.

Our latest survey of British voters makes things quite clear; just 15 per cent have a favourable attitude towards Reeves while 60 per cent say their view is unfavourable. Only Starmer fares worse. Perhaps Reeves can take comfort from the 5 per cent........
