Chancellor tells parliamentary party they might not like every measure but promises budget will be ‘fair’
Rachel Reeves has privately urged Labour MPs to back her make-or-break budget, saying they will not like every measure but promising it will be “fair”.
Speaking to a fractious parliamentary party, after a fortnight of leadership speculation, the chancellor said “politics is a team sport” and promised there would be a package of appealing measures in the budget that they could present to their constituents.
