Britain is in a DEATH SPIRAL under Rachel Reeves!

24th March 2026

In a fiery segment on GB News, presenter Nana Akua has torn into Chancellor Rachel Reeves for her endless excuses about Britain’s economic struggles, urging her to ditch the blame game and get on with the job of fixing the mess Labour has created.

“How long will it be before she blames the entire god-awful mess that she’s created on the war in Iran?” Akua questioned, highlighting what she sees as a dangerous diversion from substantive action. She argues that Reeves’ obsession with pointing the finger at the previous Tory government—especially Liz Truss’s mini-budget—is not only unhelpful but risks hiding the real damage being done by Labour’s own policies.

At the heart of the debate is Reeves’ claim of a “win” in her spring statement, boasting about lower inflation, borrowing, interest rate cuts and a growing economy. Akua dismantles this spin, pointing out that Britain is spiralling deeper into debt. Labour’s decisions—hiking National Insurance, jacking up business rates (forcing pubs to close), pushing net zero which has saddled us with the world’s highest energy costs, the Renters Reform Act driving up rents, and new employment laws scaring businesses off hiring—are all fuelling stagnation that risks turning into a full-blown slump.

Nana slammed Reeves for failing to get her own backbenchers to agree on cutting the ballooning welfare bill—one fix that could actually help—and asked how much longer we have to wait for real accountability. “Rachel has made more of a mess than Liz Truss ever did,” she declared.

The discussion turned heated in an exchange with former Labour councillor Simon Green, who defended Reeves by citing external factors like the war in Ukraine, Brexit and now potential fallout from Iran. Akua pushed back hard, insisting the focus must stay on decisions made in Westminster, not endless excuses about what’s happening abroad.

As the UK grapples with rising costs, stagnant growth and economic uncertainty, Akua’s message is clear: It’s time for Rachel Reeves and the Labour government to quit with the distractions and excuses and get on with the job of fixing our economy for the British people—not more slogan-filled denial.
