RACHEL Reeves has not been sidelined by Number 10, a senior minister has said after Sir Keir Starmer reshuffled his Downing Street team.
-
Monday's shakeup saw the Chancellor's deputy, Darren Jones, move into a new role as chief secretary to the Prime Minister.
Sir Keir also brought in Baroness Minouche Shafik, a former Bank of England deputy governor, as his chief economic adviser and senior Treasury mandarin Dan York-Smith as his principal private secretary.
The reshuffle has been seen as a sign the Prime Minister is seeking to boost Number 10's economic firepower ahead of the Budget this autumn, leading to the suggestion that Ms Reeves’ role has been diminished.
