OPINION

       Rachel Reeves has been out of her depth from the start and it's time she leaves her post (Image: PRU/AFP via Getty Images)

       As Britain’s Chancellor of the Exchequer broke down in tears in Parliament today it became very clear that it's time for an intervention. Someone has to put Rachel Reeves out of her misery. And ours. Emotions always run high in the House - but actual tears are rare.

       Margaret Thatcher famously shed a tear on leaving No10, Theresa May choked up when she was similarly pushed... But tears on the Commons front benches? A senior minister breaking down as her boss signally fails to back her? That is unprecedented. Let me caveat this: we do not know if Ms Reeves has received bad news unrelated to politics, or indeed she is suffering a spectacular bout of hayfever. But if that was the case what on earth was she doing on the front bench in full glare of the Commons TV cameras?

       Because it looked for all the world that she - just like the rest of us - was at the very end of her tether with this witless Labour Party, and beginning to realise the gig is all but up.

       She knows, as we all do, that the self-styled “Iron Chancellor” who promised not to raise taxes on working people is going to do exactly that come the Autumn.

       Kemi Badenoch was quick to spot the Chancellor’s apparent misery at Prime Minister’s Questions today and seized on it saying: “This man has forgotten that his Welfare Bill was there to plug the black hole created by the Chancellor. Instead, they're creating new ones.

       “She looks absolutely miserable.

       “The fact is, Labour MPs are going on the record saying that the chancellor is toast, and the reality is that she is a human shield for his (Starmer’s) incompetence.”

       She taunted the Prime Minister saying: “In January, he said that she would be in post until the next election. Will she really?”

       Keir Starmer really couldn’t say. Instead he wittered on about promises made and promises delivered, speaking in the past tense about his Chancellor - it felt like a eulogy at a funeral.

       Don't miss... I was in the Commons when Rachel Reeves cried and one thing stood out

       “The Chancellor has led on all these issues, and we're grateful to her for it,” he finished... it was truly the stuff of retirement speeches.

       And, tears or no tears, her retirement cannot come soon enough.

       Not just for Britain, but now it seems for Rachel herself.

       Reeves has been spectacularly out of her depth since her appointment and needs to be put out to grass at the earliest opportunity to have any hope of saving the economy.

       But of course that hope withered and died last night as it became clear the country is now run by a cabal of the hard left with zero grasp of wealth creation and a general sneering loathing of UK Plc… oh and anyone who actually makes money of course.

       Stamer’s supine bending over on the catastrophic Welfare Bill has not only left us with an utterly pointless bill but - much more dangerously - an emboldened Labour Left.

       These are people who almost nobody voted for, people with absolutely no skin in the game, and people who have already figured out they are never ever going to be re-elected so they have four years to cause as much damage as possible. They will rape what is left of Britain’s coffers, foster class hatred and kill off wealth creation.

       Of course they will - it’s their political DNA. They are tin-pot anti-capitalist revolutionaries and Starmer, through unremitting weakness, has given them the greenlight.

       Kemi picked up on it saying: “This is a Prime Minister who has U-turned on everything he's done in office, including his own speeches, because he doesn't know what he believes.

       “With left-wing Labour MPs now running the Government, isn't it working people who will now pay the price?”

       And of course it will be.

       This Labour Government has reverted to type - tax and spend, pandering to the Marxists, economic chaos, rising unemployment and ultimately an IMF bailout - with truly breakneck speed.

       But then the relatively sensible Labour Party is always always always held to ransom by the extremists in sheep’s clothing.
