Rachel Reeves is mocked in AI video game called 'Grand Theft Austerity' ahead of tomorrow's Budget

The Chancellor has been mocked in a new AI video game called 'Grand Theft Austerity'.

The video, produced by the same group behind similarly comedic content that lampooned Rachel Reeves and the former deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, comes ahead of tomorrow's budget with Brits braced for a slew of tax hikes.

In the clip, shared on X by Crewkerne Gazette, an AI-generated Reeves can be seen stood at a lecturn introducing her new video game known as 'Grand Theft Austerity'.

Reeves is then shown inside the video game - based loosely off of the popular Grand Theft Auto video game series - where she is 'standing majestically outside Westminster doing absolutely nothing about the economy'.

Players are then encouraged to 'feel the thrill of fiscal responsibility' when they beat up non-player characters (NPCs) in order to take coins off of them.

'Every collision raises government revenue by up to 3p it's what we call a sustainable growth plan', the computer-generated Reeves continues.

Reeves then takes on a less traditional form of taxation by hitting a pigeon and taking its coins.

The player is then taken into the House of Commons where Reeves is giving a speech to MPs, who are sat on the chamber's famous green benches.

She has an array of dialogue options including 'increases taxes but blame the last government' and 'copy and paste from the IMF report'.

There is also an in-game barber shop where the Chancellor's hair can be transformed into styles such as the 'austerity fringe' or 'the "administrative error" buzz cut'.

'So whether you're into fiscal chaos, light fraud or hitting wildlife with a clipboard. Grand Theft Austerity is the game for you.

'Available now for £39.99 or nine monthly installments of whatever I decide in Wednesday's budget and remember in this economy every penny counts especially yours', said Reeves.

The video comes ahead of the Chancellor's much anticipated budget where Reeves will end months of rumours and briefings about possible new levies.

The uncertainty caused by the speculation is judged to have choked off economic growth, by causing 'paralysis' among UK businesses and consumers.

Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Speaker of the House of Commons, has even mocked the 'hokey cokey' Budget process, following Ms Reeves' chaotic U-turn on income tax.

At the beginning of this month, the Chancellor laid the groundwork for a manifesto-busting hike to income tax rates.

But she was later revealed to have scrapped plans to increase income tax rates by 2p, while cutting National Insurance by the same amount.

She is instead expected to announce a 'smorgasbord' of other levy hikes as she scrambles to fill a multi-billion pound hole in the public finances.

Taxes Reeves is expected to announce include a new 'mansion tax' worth an average of £4,500, a raid on workplace pensions and a 3p per mile tax for electric vehicles (EVs).

The Crewkerne Gazette has also been behind other viral clips mocking Reeves after she broke the law by renting out her family home without a license.

In this clip, which showed Reeves boasting about the breach holding up a sign that reads: 'I don't have a licence.'

In September, after the now ex-Deputy PM Angela Rayner was forced to resigned after it was revealed she had not paid enough stamp duty on a house she owns in Brighton, the group released their first viral skit.

In the clip- entitled 'How Many Homes Can Rayner Buy?' - Ms Rayner, 45, is shown wearing a fur coat over a tracksuit.

She is also shown flashing wad of cash - a nod to the £40,000 she belatedly admitted to underpaying in stamp duty on a £800,000 seaside flat she bought in Hove in May.

In the computer-generated video Rayner raps: 'Bought me one house, bought me two; flip another flat, taxman no clue; £80K saved with a Brighton tan; Dodgin’ more duty than the average man'.

The AI-inspired Angela adds while at the despatch box: 'How many homes, I’ll name ’em all; Big Ange dancin’ in the Commons hall; Taxman cryin’, Rayner smilin’; One rule for me, none for thee!'.

Ms Rayner is also shown dancing wildly in front of sold signs as cash rains down from the sky and then smoking two cigarettes in a rubber dinghy overflowing with money.
