Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said the Prime Minister is a “working person” as the Government continues to be asked to pin down the term ahead of tax rises expected in next week’s Budget.

“The Prime Minister gets his income from going out to work and working for our country,” Ms Reeves told LBC when asked if Sir Keir Starmer was a worker.
