Chancellor was 'uncomfortable' at Kemi response

RACHEL Reeves has said she was "uncomfortable" listening to Kemi Badenoch's response to the Budget, in which the Conservative leader mocked and impersonated the Chancellor.

Mrs Badenoch has defended her comments and said her "job is to hold the Government to account, not to provide emotional support for the Chancellor".

During her response in the Commons, Mrs Badenoch called Ms Reeves "spineless, shameless and completely aimless", adding: "Let me explain to the Chancellor, woman to woman: people out there aren't complaining because she's female, they're complaining because she is utterly incompetent."
