For a consultant, who apparently has a guaranteed job until the upcoming elections, Rachel Reeves’s position was not more than pressure.

Sir Care Starmer U. In Reeves’s first decision, where the Chancellor – the temptation of fuel payments in the winter for retirees, raised 10 colors of retirees – questions about her rule and whether she had weakened.

Downting Street insisted that the Prime Minister stood in his statement in January that Reeves will remain in the treasury until the next elections, but one of the Labor Party members: “Starmer is ruthless. Everyone is safe so that they are not.”

This was not any old turn. Reeves’s decision to test the winter means to pay fuel was filmed in July 2024, weeks after winning the Labor Party elections, as evidence that it was ready to make difficult decisions to bring the system to public financial affairs.

Starmer’s assertion on Wednesday that the cuts will be partially reflected about the questions that were raised about whether REEVES will be seen as a consultant who can be clicked to decline the next time you make an unpopular decision.

There is likely to be many of these coming. On June 11, it will announce the results of the dark public spending review, while forcing ministers to make discounts to remain in the narrow financial plans of Reeves. Large luxury discounts in the pipeline.

In the fall, the advisor will provide a budget in the financial strait, with the possibility of not being allergic to having to reduce luxury or announce more tax increase.

The Labor Party members, who have pressed the bad pressure on Reeves and Sarmer to abandon the fuel payment plan in the winter, are now to persuade the advisor to retract luxury discounts.

“The counselor has been repeatedly warned against taking this decision on fuel payments in the winter,” said John Glen, former conservative treasury minister,.

But John McDunil, a consultant shadow of the former work and is now an independent deputy, has argued that Reeves and Starmer should think about “how we entered this chaos” and ask “if the lesson has been learned about the discounts to the advantages of the deficit.”

Labor Party deputies were terrified by the general opposition to reduce fuel payment in the winter, which contributed to the performance of the dark party in the local English elections earlier this month, when it lost 187 seats.

“Voters believe that Rachel is a very difficult average person,” said one of the Labor Party deputy. “I am not sure that this is completely true, but this is what they say on the doorstep.”

Party figures close to Starmer says that Reeves was more willing to retract the issue than the Prime Minister, who was afraid to make the government appear weak. The number 10 was insisted by: “The Chancellor and Prime Minister at Lockstep.”

U-U-Turn has been in discussion since the results of the local elections and a torrent of angry reactions from the deputies of the Labor Party and the defeated advisers. But the Starmer Declaration on Wednesday still caused some surprise.

Some Labor Party deputies believe that the Prime Minister stressed a partial decline in a planned to turn attention away from A note from Deputy Prime Minister Angela RainerThe section, which the Daily Telegraph saw, urges Reeves to increase taxes.

One of the workers’ deputy said that the policy is placed on the hoof. “How can partial help us?” The representative’s request. “All this tactics and interactive management.”

Rainer’s note, which was sent in March, suggested that Reeves pay taxes of up to 4 billion pounds, especially on the wealthy, as an alternative to discounts. After the fuel is declined in the winter, the tax height may seem less politically risk than the additional discounts of social welfare.

One of the veteran treasury employees said that by granting the fuel issue in the winter, Reeves may earn some credit with the work deputies. The former official said: “It is not a disaster if it helps in obtaining the advantages of disability,” said the former official. “But if it takes the way for more defeats? It is time to get a new advisor.”

While Reeves received a batch of Growth numbers in the first quarter It shows a greater expansion of GDP more than expected by 0.7 percent, official figures do not indicate that this does a lot to enhance the health of public financial affairs.

The pure borrowing in the public sector was 151.9 billion pounds in the fiscal year 2024-25, about 20.7 billion pounds above the previous year and 14.6 billion pounds above March’s expectations.

“We doubt that the financial predicament of the consultant will get worse later in the year,” said Ruth Gregory in Capital Economics.

Labor Party representatives hope to lift winter fuel to rotate from the government. One of the newly -elected MP said: “Our original sins – the moment when people formed a moral judgment on us.”

But for Reeves, who promised to be a “iron consultant”, was it a sign of weakness? Its allies insist on no. One of them said: “It is not as if the government had not been rotating before and continued to win the elections.”
