Downing Street confirmed the Chancellor will remain in her position. The Chancellor appeared visibly upset during Prime Minister's Questions, while Sir Keir Starmer faced criticism for recent U-turns on welfare reforms that caused a £5 billion shortfall in spending plans. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch described the Chancellor as 'toast' and noted Starmer's inability to guarantee Reeves' continuation in the role. Tensions heightened with reports of a potential altercation involving Reeves and the House of Commons Speaker before the session.
The Chancellor is going nowhere and she will remain in Number 11. Repeated assertions from a Number 10 spokesperson affirm her stable position.
Starmer faced significant backlash after scrapping parts of his welfare reforms, leading to fears of increased tax rises and a £5 billion deficit in Reeves' plans.
