Rachel Reeves has been accused of having a “cavalier attitude” to expenses during her time in retail banking, forcing the chancellor and the prime minister to defend her conduct and insist there was no wrongdoing.
Keir Starmer said he had full confidence in Reeves and said she dealt with “any issues” that arose from her career in retail banking, after claims the chancellor was investigated for alleged misuse of expenses and made inaccuracies on her CV.
