British PM Keir Starmer gives full backing to Chancellor after tearful Commons episode
Manage episode 492451441 series 5428
Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer has given his backing to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who was seen crying in the UK parliament — after a series of government backflips dented her budget plans and sparked speculation about her political future.
The incident came a day after an embarrassing reversal for the government over its plans to cut welfare spending — and after the Prime Minister initially refused to say whether Rachel Reeves would still be Chancellor at the next election.
- Guest: Claire Ainsley, former policy director to Keir Starmer, now Director of the Project on Center-Left Renewal at the Progressive Policy Institute
- Producers: Anne Barker and Teodora Agarici
