### Sub-headline: A property owner expresses frustration over the Chancellor's recent Budget decisions.
A landlord has vocally criticized Chancellor Rachel Reeves following her recent Budget announcement. Ms. Bickley, who has been managing properties for years and is now nearing retirement, feels that Reeves’ policies unjustly place a heavy burden on individuals like her.
Ms. Bickley stated, "As a landlord of retirement age I can assure you that I am also sick to death of Rachel from accounts." She elaborated on her concerns, noting, "I have a big fat target on my back that says pensioner and landlord, but that is ok because according to Rachel I have broad shoulders and deep pockets that the Government can mine every time they need more money."
She condemned the Chancellor's recent decisions as "short-sighted and ill-judged political decision making," emphasizing that they threaten the stability of the rental market. Ms. Bickley warned that many landlords are reconsidering their investments, stating, "Small wonder that many landlords are throwing in the towel and that will inevitably reduce the quantity of properties available for rent and heat up the market. The OBR told you so, Rachel."
