Rachel Reeves has been granted exclusive use of Dorneywood, a luxurious Buckinghamshire mansion reserved for chancellors, rather than the Deputy Prime Minister, a move reflecting current governmental practices.
This decision takes a notable turn from the Tony Blair era, when the previous deputy, John Prescott, was allocated Dorneywood, highlighting the shifting dynamics within the UK's political landscape.
The allocation of Dorneywood has reignited discussions about the use of official residences, reminding many of past controversies surrounding politicians enjoying the perks of government-provided living spaces.
Despite their complicated history, Keir Starmer has benefited from a more constructive relationship with Angela Rayner, recently appointing her to the shadow levelling up position, even amidst Dorneywood's allocation.
