Chancellor utilizing mansplaining claims as ‘smokescreen’ forward of Budget, says senior Tory

The shadow chancellor has rejected claims from Chancellor Rachel Reeves that males have "mansplained" economics to her.

Ms Reeves mentioned she had been patronised by males telling her easy methods to run the economic system.

Sir Mel Stride was requested if he was one of many males the chancellor was referring to.

"I think this is just all chaff that’s being thrown up in the air, a smokescreen to try and get us off what’s really happening," he mentioned.

"This isn’t about gender, this is about mismanagement of the economy."
