Prime Minister Keir Starmer has given a shocking response when asked why he failed to support his Chancellor Rachel Reeves during an extraordinary moment in Parliament. The incident occurred when Reeves was seen openly crying behind Starmer as his MPs delivered a crushing blow to his proposed welfare reforms.
The dramatic scene unfolded just one year after Starmer’s historic election victory, when he and his team were celebrating their win with champagne. Now, twelve months later, the Prime Minister finds himself in a very different position, with his Chancellor in tears after a major political defeat.
