Letter: You'll reap what you sow for voting in this Labour Government

Rachel Reeves, Chancellor of the Exchequer, must think voters are all thick.The Labour Party won the election and she announces there is a £22billion black hole in the finances, knowing full well these finances were there for all to see months before the election.Why didn’t she mention this before the election? If there wasn't a black hole in the finances then, there sure is now, dishing out pay rises to the public sector. As they say, "you reap what you sow".
