Rachel Reeves expressed that her recent emotional display in the Commons was due to a personal matter, not related to her political responsibilities. Reeves participated in the launch of the NHS 10-year plan alongside the Prime Minister and Health Secretary, receiving support from colleagues. She emphasized her commitment to her role and stated her distress was evident but is now moving forward with her responsibilities. Key colleagues, including Keir Starmer, supported her, noting her upset was personal and not related to any interactions within Parliament.
Reeves explained her visible distress during PMQs was due to a personal issue unrelated to politics, asserting she is now fine and focused on her role as chancellor.
When having a tough day, it is more public for me as chancellor, unlike most people's experiences. My job is to support the government during PMQs.
