4:42Now PlayingIn a dramatic and emotionally charged session of Prime Minister’s Questions, viewers witnessed a rare moment of public tension at the top of government as Chancellor Rachel Reeves was seen crying behind Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The incident unfolded as Starmer repeatedly refused to confirm whether Reeves would remain in her post, following days of speculation about a looming Cabinet reshuffle.
Amid growing pressure on the government after a turbulent week—including internal Labour unrest over the Welfare Reform Bill and a substantial backbench rebellion—this unexpected moment of emotion in the Commons has sparked serious questions about the stability of Starmer’s frontbench team and his leadership style.
As opposition leader Kemi Badenoch challenged Starmer on party discipline, broken promises, and economic policy confusion, MPs across the chamber looked on in shock as the Chancellor appeared visibly distressed. The Prime Minister’s refusal to defend or reassure his most senior minister only deepened speculation about behind-the-scenes divisions in Number 10.
