Sir Keir Starmer said Rachel Reeves was upset about a personal issue, and was caught on camera because there’s no ‘hiding place’ in politics.

Keir Starmer has said Rachel Reeves is doing an ‘excellent job’ after she broke down in tears in front of Parliament’s cameras this afternoon. The Chancellor cried during Prime Minister’s Questions as the PM failed to confirm she would still be in her job at the next election.

Sir Keir Starmer has given his full support to Chancellor Rachel Reeves and said that her tearful appearance in the Commons yesterday was "nothing to do with politics" and was "a personal matter".
