Sir Keir Starmer has backed Rachel Reeves to be Chancellor “into the next election and for many years after” after her tearful appearance at Prime Minister’s Questions.
The Prime Minister said it was “absolutely wrong” to suggest the Chancellor’s tears in the Commons related to the welfare U-turn - which put a near-£5billion black hole in her plans - and admitted the Government failed to properly engage with rebel MPs who forced ministers into the climbdown.
