GB News presenter Patrick Christys launched a blistering attack on a "blubbering" Rachel Reeves during a live broadcast on Wednesday night. It comes after the Labour Chancellor said she is looking at "further measures on tax" ahead of next month's Budget, in the clearest sign yet that tax increases are on the way. Patrick delievered his scathing verdict on Reeves raising taxes, while also suggesting the British taxpayer will also need to pay art classes for illegal immigrants. In a furious takedown the presenter pulled up videos from Labour's manifesto before coming to power, where Reeves claimed she would not increase taxes.

Speaking on his self-titled show, he began: "Rachel Reeves is spending money on art classes for illegal migrants and benefits for foreigners, whle tripling you with tax rises." He then played a clip of Reeves' comments before the last election where she said, "The Conservatives are now the party of high tax". Reeves announced tax rises worth £40bn a year at her first Budget last November, including hikes to payroll taxes paid by employers, and insisted she would not have to repeat the move in subsequent years. But the chancellor is now facing the prospect of another reshuffle with public finances which may impact Britons pockets.

In another clip, Reeves said, "I believe in sound money and in public spending that's kept under control."

Patrick went on: "Labour has borrowed £83.6bn this financial year. They voted down welfare reforms we now have a welfare bill that is around £303bn a year. No wonder she was brought to tears in parliament."

A video of Reeves speaking at conference showed the chancellor suggest that after the budget, that Labour had "drawn a line" under the inheritance she faced from the Conservatives and claimed our "public finances are on a firm footing".

She added, "We have now set the envelope for those public services for the rest of this Parliament so that means we're not going to have to come back for more."

Only for Reeves to announce on Wednesday (October 15) she may have to raise taxes.
