Do you think Rachel Reeves misled people before the budget?

In the lead-up to the 26 November Budget, Chancellor Rachel Reeves warned of a large fiscal shortfall, suggesting significant tax rises might be necessary.

However, shortly before the announcement, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) revealed a £4.2 billion fiscal surplus - information that was not shared publicly at the time.

Reeves has faced criticism for potentially misleading the public, but she has defended her approach, arguing that the surplus was too small to ease long-term pressures and that it was right to build a larger fiscal buffer.

The controversy has sparked debate over the transparency of her budget messaging.
