I saw how challenging reshuffles can be for PM and party when I was chief whip under Rishi Sunak. They tend to make more enemies than friends, even when they are carefully planned and executed. Worse, the friends they make were probably your friends anyway, and the enemies you make are the ones who used to be your friends. In other words, there are only downsides.

Reeves will get fired or fall on her sword in the next 12 months. She'll make a balls of the Budget and I don't think she'll still be there at Christmas. They'll have a new chancellor with a three-and-a-half-year run into the next election who can move away from these unsustainable commitments that they won't raise taxes.

Speaking to TalkTV's Plank Of The Week, Mark Wogan said: "It's interesting how you say [Labour chancellor] Rachel Reeves is killing the housing market - she's killed it already. "You'd think someone would come round, even just out of interest. But no one's come to see it. No one, not one single person. That's how dead the market is."

The Treasury confirmed that Hansard had been amended following errors made by the Chancellor during committee hearings, particularly in figures regarding pension scheme management.

Productivity is a dull word of vital importance. Growing the measure of output for each hour of work is an economic secret sauce, enabling growth in wages and living standards over the long run without stoking inflation.

Rachel Reeves inadvertently breached parliament's rules by failing to declare gifts on time, the standards watchdog has found. She blamed an oversight for her initial failure to declare the gifts, which included tickets to an adaptation of the classic children's novel Ballet Shoes at the National Theatre over Christmas.

Reeves’s display of distress may prove to have an unexpectedly positive legacy, normalising women’s tears in the workplace, which have mostly been mired in shame.

UK government borrowing costs surged as speculation over Rachel Reeves's role as chancellor intensified. City investors flagged a multibillion-pound deficit due to Labour's welfare policy reversal.

"Reports Rachel Reeves will announce a cut to the cash ISA limit at her 15 July Mansion House speech. If true, I think it's a mistake."

Creating a lost decade for growth, wages and living standards that is their legacy.

We have listened to the concerns that people had about the level of the means test, and so we will be making changes to that; they will be in place so that pensioners are paid this coming winter.

Rachel Reeves emphasized the importance of not reducing the £20,000 limit on Individual Savings Accounts, stating it's crucial for savers and their potential returns.

Reeves emphasized that the upcoming UK-EU summit is not a one-off event, indicating a commitment to enhancing the UK’s relationship with Europe over time.

Reeves will emphasize that the UK must advocate for free trade, arguing it is in the best interests of both the UK and the global economy, especially under the current economic turbulence.
