Looks like she's tried to help 'business' by trying to block consumers getting a payout for being ripped off. The court has told her to do one.

Shafting the sorts of people the lefties voted them in to look after. It’s not like the top 1% of earners borrow money to buy a family car.
 
It’s all okay though, she's got it all in hand. It's her number one mission. She's going "further and faster"……blah de blah de blah….

"Rachel Reeves responds to the jump in inflation saying her "number one mission" is getting "more pounds in pockets".
"Since the election we've seen year-on-year wages after inflation growing at their fastest rate - worth an extra £1,000 a year on average - but I know that millions of families are still struggling to make ends meet," the chancellor says.
She says the government is "going further and faster to deliver economic growth".
It will do this by "taking on the blockers to get Britain building again, investing to rebuild our roads, rail and energy infrastructure and ripping up unnecessary regulation, we will kickstart growth, secure well-paid jobs and get more pounds in pockets," she says.
It comes after the Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey said the impact of the government's choices in the Budget to raise minimum wages and employer National Insurance contributions would impact inflation".

There's been a correction to that statement.


Rachel Reeves has been forced to correct her statement on inflation after mistakenly implying that workers’ wages had risen at a record pace since Labour came to power.

The Treasury at lunchtime issued a “correction” to the Chancellor’s earlier statement following what it termed an “error”.

Initially, a statement attributed to Ms Reeves and sent to the press said: “Getting more money in people’s pockets is my number one mission. Since the election we’ve seen year on year wages after inflation growing at their fastest rate – worth an extra £1,000 a year on average – but I know that millions of families are still struggling to make ends meet.”

The corrected statement added the critical caveat that wages after inflation are growing not at the fastest rate, but “at their fastest rate in three years”.

The mistake comes as Ms Reeves faces pressure over her stewardship of the economy after inflation rose at a faster than expected 3pc in January.

It is also an embarrassing time for the Chancellor, who is already under fire amid claims she exaggerated parts of her CV.

Ms Reeves has been accused of exaggerating the amount of time she spent working for the Bank of England, and incorrectly claiming to have worked as an economist at Bank of Scotland.

The Chancellor has subsequently updated her CV on the LinkedIn website to state that she worked in “retail banking” at Halifax, which had merged with Bank of Scotland, between 2006 and 2009.

Meanwhile Jonathan Reynolds, the Business Secretary, has been accused of claiming to be a solicitor, despite never qualifying.

Both sets of accusations have raised questions about the integrity of Sir Keir Starmer’s Government. Asked about his Chancellor’s CV last week, the Prime Minister said: “Rachel Reeves has dealt with any issues that arise.”

Sir Keir’s official spokesman confirmed the Prime Minister has no concerns regarding her conduct, and said: “The Prime Minister is working hand in hand with the Chancellor and has full faith in the Chancellor for the job that she has done in beginning to turn the economy round after 14 years of stagnation.”

Ms Reeves’s corrected statement reflects the fact that average weekly earnings, adjusted for consumer price inflation, have grown by 3.4pc in the past year. Pay rises have remained strong as inflation has fallen from 4pc in December 2023 to 2.5pc a year later.

However, that is short of the real-terms pay rises seen in 2021. In the wake of pandemic lockdowns and the distortions imposed by the furlough scheme, annual pay growth, after inflation, peaked at 6.9pc in June 2021 - more than double the strongest month of Labour’s tenure so far.

The Chancellor was responding to news that inflation jumped to a 10-month high of 3pc in January, partly fuelled by the scrapping of the exemption of VAT on private school fees at the start of the year.
