Rachel Reeves in tears in Parliament – they were rolling down her cheeks
It was an unusual moment as the House of Commons cameras caught Rachel Reeves in tears in Parliament.
It was during Prime Minister’s Questions when MPs expressed concern over latest decision by the Chancellor to make cuts in welfare.
Kemi Badenoch laid into the government’s latest U-turn on welfare reform – which potentially blows a hole in Reeves’ Budget plans.
She said the chancellor would now be forced to put up taxes “to pay for his incompetence”. Badenoch asked if she would still be chancellor at the next election.
The Prime Minister refused to say whether Reeves would remain in her job until the next election, during which the chancellor, who was sat by his side on the front bench, was visibly upset
The Tory leader also made a reference about how Rachel Reeves was looking.
She said the chancellor “looks absolutely miserable”.
And she told the PM: “Labour MPs are going on the record saying that the chancellor is toast, and the reality is that she is a human shield for his incompetence.”
Sir Keir said: “No prime minister or chancellor ever stands at the dispatch box and writes budgets in the future.”
