Rachel Reeves launches scathing attack on Jeremy Corbyn and Your Party: ‘The bloke's got a big ego'
The public will reject Jeremy Corbyn's new party like they rejected him twice before, Rachel Reeves has predicted. The Chancellor launched an attack on the former Labour leader personally as well as his new party, saying 'the bloke's got a big ego'. Ms Reeves told an audience at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that Mr Corbyn had 'tried to destroy my party' during his leadership in which he lost two general elections, one in 2017 and one in 2019. She was asked about the left-wing party during an appearance on the Iain Dale All Talk show on Saturday. Mr Corbyn launched the new political party with former Labour MP Zarah Sultana, which still does not appear to have a name but is marketed as 'Your Party'. Mr Corbyn vowed it would 'take on the rich and powerful'. Asked about whether the new party could eat into Labour's support by becoming a 'Reform of the left', the Chancellor said: ' Jeremy Corbyn has had two chances to be prime minister and I think the country gave their verdict, most recently in 2019 when Labour had its worst result since 1935. 'If he wants to give it another go, be my guest. I think the voters will have the same reaction.' Asked by Mr Dale if Labour was being complacent about the new political group, she said: 'It's not being complacent. He tried to destroy my party and he can now go set up his own party. 'The country has rejected him twice. The bloke's got a big ego. He can have another go but I think the country will have the same verdict.' The Chancellor's comments saw some of the biggest cheers of her chat with Mr Dale, which lasted around one and a half hours. Mr Corbyn has said that more than 500,000 people had signed up to the movement in less than a week. The figure was dismissed by Ms Reeves who told the crowd in Edinburgh that her sister Ellie Reeves, a serving Labour MP, had received an email stating she had signed up to the party. Speaking at the same event, the Chancellor said Reform UK was now Labour's main rival, describing the Tories as 'irrelevant'. But she warned that Nigel Farage offered 'simple solutions' that amounted to a 'mirage'. Mr Corbyn has been approached for comment.

Sainsbury's shoppers rush to pick up new ‘funky' version of beloved chocolate bar – fans say it's ‘absolutely brilliant'
SWEET-TOOTHED Brits are rushing to Sainsbury's to pick up a new version of a classic chocolate bar. The "funky" version recently hit shelves, enticing shoppers with an exciting new twist. 1 A rare version of a KitKat has sent chocolate fans into a frenzy as they rush to try the fun new flavour. The KitKat Chunky Funky is the latest limited edition treat from Nestle. And shoppers can pick up this sweet treat from Sainsbury's for just £1 a bar. The highly-anticipated new snack was shared on the Facebook group New Foods UK. One shopper shared a picture of a four-pack containing snack size versions of the chocolate treat. New twist It adds a fun twist on the original KitKat Chunky, substituting in a cocoa wafer, which is coated in marbled milk and white chocolate. Shoppers shared their excitement over the new release in the comments section. "I already had them, absolutely brilliant," wrote one impressed customer. "Oh I need to get to the shop," said another eager Facebook user. "To quote Andy Pipkin: 'I want that one'," joked a third commenter. We've outdone ourselves with this one' say Cadbury Ireland as they reveal new limited edition bar 'coming soon History of KitKats The classic KitKat Chunky first hit UK shelves in 1999, following the original two and four finger bars. It has solidified itself as a fan favourite, but is also known for its innovative limited edition flavours. Such as the Peanut Butter, White Chocolate, and Orange editions of the bar. Other limited edition versions inlcude the Hazelnut Cream, Coconut, and Brownie. Meanwhile, the original KitKat bar was first established in 1935, in York. How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger. More on new flavours And Nestle previously released two new KitKat flavours in recent weeks. Terry's Chocolate Orange has launched a new flavour but it is only available from one UK supermarket. Plus, two new Cadbury's chocolate bars that have hit UK shelves for first time. And Quality Street has after two years. A rare new Cadbury's chocolate bar has been described as combining two sweet treat favourites.
