Reeves 'cracking on with job' after Commons upset
Hull Daily Mail
|July 04, 2025
RACHEL Reeves said she was "clearly" upset during her appearance at Prime Minister's Questions but insisted she was "cracking on with the job".
The Chancellor and Sir Keir Starmer shared a hug, and the Chancellor smiled throughout her first public appearance after she broke down in tears in the House of Commons. Ms Reeves would not, however, be drawn into answering questions about the "personal matter" which had upset her ahead of Wednesday's PMQs. She told broadcasters: "Clearly I was upset and everyone could see that. It was a personal issue and I'm not going to go into the details of that.
"My job as Chancellor at 12 o'clock on a Wednesday is to be at PMQs next to the Prime Minister, supporting the Government and that's what I tried to do.
