More bad news could be on its way for Rachel Reeves, who is currently sweating over the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) report on March 26 which will assess if she has broken her own fiscal rules.
Needing to urgently deliver some growth, she is desperately trying to junk her socialist actions so far, even undermining the Government’s top Net Zero fanatic Ed Miliband as she pushes for a third Heathrow runway in a desperate attempt to save her own skin.
However, the clock is ticking fast. Jeremy Hunt told me the OBR will complete its work the month before publication. Reeves will therefore know by the end of February if she’s crashed through her rules.
So keep an eye out for more manic behaviour from her around that time.

I’m never impressed when I hear about “leaks” from the Cabinet or Shadow Cabinet. They’re not always accurate anyway, and ministers should abide by the “What’s said in Cabinet stays in Cabinet” rule.
Having said that, when I read that Kemi had told her Shadow Cabinet that “it would be best if Liz (Truss) would shut up for a while” I thought it sounded pretty accurate, was absolutely spot on and as far as I’m concerned requires a wider audience.
So I’m happy to break my own rule and repeat it!

The number of illegal immigrants could be way more than the recently reported figures. According to the doctor’s union – the British Medical Association – there are 63.7million patients registered with GPs in England alone.
But the most recent ONS estimate of England’s population is just 57.1 million. So who are the extra
6.6 million patients?
GPs get paid on average £165 per patient, so that’s over £1 billion extra cost to the NHS & taxpayers.
This of course doesn’t include the enormous cost of the drugs and treatments that they receive free. There are only two plausible explanations for this discrepancy in the numbers. Either there is a huge amount of fraud taking place or the level of illegal immigration is far higher than estimated. I know which my money is on.

It’s not just millionaires who we are losing from the country.
When my husband Phil had his heart attack last year, he was unbelievably lucky that Manchester’s Wythenshawe Hospital just happened to have one of the best heart surgeons in the world who carried out a quadruple bypass on him.
We will never be able to thank this surgeon, Professor Rajamiyer Venkateswaran, enough for what he did for Phil, but unfortunately he is leaving the UK to take up a prestigious position in the US.
The professor is a genius and will be a huge loss to the country. The NHS cannot afford to lose people of his calibre.
