YOUNG girls up and down the country have been inspired by first female chancellor Rachel Reeves slashing the price of a pint by 1p.

Following the glass ceiling-shattering example set by the chancellor, little girls now feel empowered to grow up, work hard, and reduce the price of certain alcoholic drinks in pubs by an entire penny.

Eight-year-old Lauren Hewitt said: “I knew Rachel Reeves was going to shake things up as a woman, but I didn’t expect an economic earthquake of this magnitude. 1.7 per cent? Wow. 

“I’ve decided to chuck in my childish aspirations of being a World Cup-winning footballer for England or the next Doctor Who and follow in her footsteps instead. 

“Maybe by the time I’m grown up I can slash draught duty by a whole 2 per cent? You’ve got to dream big.”

Lucy Parry, throwing her doll house into a fire, said: “I was roaring with the rest of the Commons when she made the announcement. Not just because it was another bloody nose delivered to the patriarchy, but because I might be able to get a pint for less than a fiver when I’m older.

“Reeves makes other inspirational women like Emmeline Pankhurst and Mary Wollstonecraft look like rank amateurs. None of them won my dad over to feminism with one single economic policy.”
