      Starmer said: „We’re only getting started, the chancellor **has led** on all these issues and we’re grateful to her for it.“

      Interesting choice of tense, shouldn’t it be „is leading on“?

      Reeves will be ok. It’s not like she’s disabled and facing financial ruin

      Looks like she hasn’t slept well. Hopefully up all night tarting up her CV

    4. Didn’t watch any of it, but maybe she has only just realised that she and Starmer have the same voice. I mean, it’s weird.

      The buck stops with her ultimately, she’s done a bad job and the rebellion this early into a parliamentary term demonstrates this.

      The biggest travesty of this new parliament is that we voted for major change after 14 years of tory cuts, austerity and brexit – and this party seem obsessed with being more tory and sticking to stringent rules that hinder any progress.

      NOTHING will happen with this stance. Either we cut benefits or we cut pensions or we cut services if we want to stick to borrowing rules that the right wing press have pressured her into. there is no way of stimulating growth or improving the country sticking to a tory plan that has stifled the country throughout history.

      I would have more respect if she said „the public have spoken, you can have another say on the finances at the next election“ and actually made real change. As it is, it looks more and more like an angry vote will get a reform government next time…and then we will see the death of the NHS and the end of the UK.

      Her days are numbered. Pretty clear that this fiasco is being pinned on her, rightly or wrongly

      I don’t think it’s good form to celebrate someone being stressed in their job to the point of tears.

      Fact is she’s having to make difficult choices the likes of which very few people on here can empathise with.

      Oh well, . She lied that she was an economist, and naturally couldn’t cut the mustard. Starmer will throw her under the bus to save his own skin.

      When they realize they can’t take any more from the poor, only then do they cry those sweet neoliberal tears

    11. Maybe if they stopped pushing personal agenda and did what the public asks for she’d me alright

    12. For some reason Labour refuse to sort out the right wing media and are letting them still dictate policy even when they have a massive majority.

      Austerity was always just a con so the Tories could cut or steal everything, it only slows the economy and reduces the TAX take.

      It is just not going to work. It time to face down the markets and tell them to f off.

      So that’s now 150,001 victims of Rachel Reeves‘ catastrophic tenure?

      As far as sympathy goes, she ranks at 150,001 for me in that list.

    14. A spokesman for the chancellor reportedly stated, „It’s a personal matter, which – as you would expect – we are not going to get into. The chancellor will be working out of Downing Street this afternoon.“

    15. Two party system is facking bollocks. 14 years of useless toey government, where the centrists promise, and the right screw it over deliberately .. hs2 or ‚levelling up‘, brexit…

      Now we get more of the same, we know its either more taxes or cut disability. Centrist promise and the left screw it over deliberately.

      We need proportional representation, and an end to first past the post. We have 4 political parties pretending to be 2, and it makes us stagnant.

      I hope all the people cheering this on don’t complain about the kind of people we end up with in politics. God forbid someone isn’t made of stone.

      It’s bad that she feels so under pressure that she’s breaking, but a large part of me really finds it hard to care.

      Maybe if she hadn’t gone after the easy choice of targeting welfare. Maybe if she hadn’t gone after the most vulnerable in society, and tried something else. Maybe, if she had funded mental health care better, then I would find it easier to feel sorry for her.

      But I don’t.

    18. The issue was that they tried to sell it as reforming the welfare system but it was blatantly obvious it was only about saving X amount of money. They found the sweet spot where you can cut off the maximum amount of people without scrapping the whole thing but ofc it then blew up in their face.

      It’s been reported by political observers that it was a personal matter, some people will just continue their own speculations though I imagine

      suggested alternate headline

      **disabled entitled to die homeless and hungry in the streets with no support**

      for the disabled people a lot of whom have only worsened because of two decades of having nhs and local services and support completed eviscerated

      by consecutive government labour > conservative > labour again now cuts to everything from youth centres to autism support teams dementia care and so much more and that is just my locale

      hope we are all prepared to see homeless disabled people dying on our city, town and village streets

      (which IS the ultimate fate of someone who cant work having their support eroded over 20 years and then having the last of it ripped away gleefully while keir and reeves are cosy warm or right now i expect comfortably ac cooled in their fourth homes)

      who care if reeves is suddenly growing a miniscule conscience actually i wouldn’t be surprised if they were tears of happiness or may she was sad she cant do all the euthanasia’s herself

      Tears of self pity. Shed for herself. Ridiculous, and very unprofessional.

    22. I’m seeing a few comments of people saying its free money and should get off their ssses and work, first of all, its really difficult getting on pip, most have to go to tribunal to get it, and most people on pip work, so it’s a ridiculous take…and those that don’t work do want to work but most jobs won’t take someone on who has health issues…guess they just gotta go without money then 🙄
