Labour insiders fear Rachel Reeves' tears during Prime Minister's Questions "have made her unsackable". The Chancellor cried in the Commons chamber on Wednesday as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer failed to back her remaining in position until the next general election.

Rachel Reeves appeared to be crying on the Commons frontbench during prime minister’s questions. A tear could be seen rolling down the chancellor’s cheek as she watched Keir Starmer take on Kemi Badenoch. The PM also refused to guarantee that Reeves would keep her job after being asked by the Tory leader.
