Starmer hangs Reeves out to dry again — is the Chancellor toast?
Description
Labour have marked the return to school with a mini-reshuffle in Downing Street, elevating a handful of ‘star pupils’ into key Government roles.
Among them is Treasury minister Darren Jones, now promoted to Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister – a new position with a seat at the Cabinet table.
But the shake-up risks undermining Chancellor Rachel Reeves, already braced for a bruising autumn Budget and the likelihood of major tax rises. Tim and Camilla discuss the political manoeuvring inside No 10.
And as Reform UK ramp up their attacks on local government pension “waste,” Camilla speaks to Zia Yusuf, head of the party’s DOGE unit, about what they’ve uncovered and whether whispers of an early general election are true.
