UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said her emotional appearance in Parliament on Wednesday was caused by a personal issue that wasn’t related to her work with Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Reeves spoke to broadcasters about the incident on Thursday, following an appearance with Starmer, where he credited her fiscal rules for his government’s accomplishments.
