After delivering her Spring Statement speech yesterday, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has become even more unpopular after a number of witnesses saw her taking candy from a baby.

Just a day after announcing a plethora of welfare cuts, the Chancellor is in more hot water with a public who are firmly against taking things away from some of the nation’s most vulnerable people.

“She just walked right up to us and grabbed my daughter’s lollipop,” said shocked dad Simon Williams.

“I was too crestfallen to speak. That sugar-free Chupa Chup cost me 55p. So not only has she stolen something from a baby, I’m also out of pocket as well. 

“I mean, she might’ve done me a favour thinking about it. My wife gets annoyed when I give our daughter junk food. But still, taking a lollipop from a baby is a bit of a dick move.

“You’d think the MP for Pudsey would have more empathy for kids. The Children in Need bear is named after her constituency for Christ’s sake!

“What next? Is she gonna push my daughter off the swing? Trust me, after that farmer’s march she doesn’t want thousands of babies protesting outside Downing Street.

“Not unless she wants a load of shit-filled nappies flung at her door.”
