At Tuesday’s Spring Statement, Rachel Reeves will try and pull the wool. She’ll say the plan is working. But we all know it isn’t.

Lots of big tax rises, mostly happening around election year. What could possibly go wrong?

Rachel Reeves can count herself (at least a bit) lucky. OBR productivity downgrade would have knocked £16 billion off tax receipts. But she was saved by £32 billion of *extra* receipts from higher inflation and a shift to more tax-rich growth (lower profits, higher wages).
