Terry Smith, aged 73, has criticised his niece Rachel Reeves' recent Budget. Smith, whose sister is Reeves' mother Sally, reportedly called the £30 billion tax proposals a 'disgrace'. According to Smith, the Chancellor's measures will negatively impact working families. He stated the government is 'out of their depth' and the Budget will harm the finances of working-class people. Smith claimed it's the worst budget he has heard, after witnessing many over the years.
