Angela Rayner
Wow, Rachel! Great budget! Tax! Borrow! Spend! What a surprise! Didn’t see any of that coming!
Rachel Reeves
Oh, I thought I’d prepared the ground rather thoroughly by leaking every single detail in the preceding three months.
Angela Rayner
It was a joke, Rachel.
Rachel Reeves
Oh, yes. Jokes. I know jokes. I like jokes. I made jokes in my Budget speech.
Darren Jones
They were real zingers, boss.
Rachel Reeves
There was the one about the increase in air passenger duty for private jets... to, say, California.
Darren Jones
Suck it up, Rishi Rish Person!
Rachel Reeves
Then there was the one about safeguarding workers from bullying in, say, the Shadow Cabinet.
Darren Jones
Take that, Kemi Bad Person!
Angela Rayner
But the third joke was the best. “This is a Budget for growth”! Bloody hysterical!
That wasn’t a joke.
