Tension is at its height in the British government, even forcing Keir Starmer to react. The British Prime Minister thus assured Wednesday that the Minister of Finance Rachel Reeves would remain in office “for a very long time”, after her tears in Parliament, who fueled rumors on his possible departure.
Questioned by British deputies, Keir Starmer, in turmoil in front of his own camp because of his disputed reform of social benefits, had first failed to support Rachel Reeves during weekly questions in the British Parliament. Tears then sank on the cheeks of the interested party.
Tears would be for “a personal affair”
The conservative opposition leader Kemi Badenoch had called the minister as a paid “human shield” for the “incompetence” of the Prime Minister. But a spokesperson for Keir Starmer then assured that the Minister “will not leave”, and that she had her “full support”. “He said it many times, he does not need to repeat it whenever the opposition’s heading speculates on Labor leaders. »»
A spokesperson for the Chancellor of the Echiquier-the official title of Rachel Reeves-said that these tears were explained by “a personal affair”.
Keir Starmer then told the BBC later that she had done “an excellent job as a chancellor” and that she would remain in this position “for a very long time”. He said that his tears had “nothing to do with politics” and that it was “totally wrong” to suggest the opposite.
Third flip-flop of the Prime Minister
In difficulty, the Prime Minister narrowly avoided an embarrassing parliamentary defeat in front of his own troops on Tuesday, bringing them concessions on an unpopular reform of aid to patients and people with disabilities, within the framework of budgetary savings.

It was Keir Starmer’s third flip-flop in a month, after his retropedaling on the abolition of universal heating aid for retirees, and a national survey on the pedocriminal gangs that he finally authorized.
