**Reeves Packs Up Her Troubles Until Budget Day and Smiles, Smiles, Smiles** The Chancellor radiated positivity during her conference speech, offering a glimmer of hope, albeit with little concrete detail. If you were contemplating a drastic decision today, perhaps thinking about reaching out to Dignitas, hold that thought. Cancel that trip to Zurich, or at least put it on hold. Things may not be as dire as they seemed. In truth, they are still quite challenging, but there’s a flicker of hope if you can just hang on a little longer. Yes, there will be short- and medium-term pain, but think of it as a way to build character. Perhaps, just perhaps, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for us, the resilient few, as we blink into the brightness of a better future. This was Rachel Reeves’s moment, and she felt reassured the instant she woke up to find Liz Truss had once again shared a desperate message on social media. You can now witness Truss’s mental unraveling in real time. It’s reached a point where she films herself in front of a color-coordinated bookshelf, leading to the kindest interpretation that she believes she’s recording a hostage video, with the books serving as a coded plea for help: “I’m being held against my will.” In the midst of these chaotic times, Reeves managed to project a sense of optimism, reminding us that while the road ahead may be tough, there’s still a chance for recovery and renewal.
