POLL OF THE DAY: Should the PM punish the Chancellor after she admitted mistakenly breaking housing law?

by 30/10/2025

Late on Wednesday night, Rachel Reeves was revealed to have “sincerely apologised” for the “error” in breaking housing rules.

The Chancellor had placed her family home in south London on the rental market for £3,200 a month last year – having failed to obtain a licence to let it out.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch urged the PM to launch a full investigation.

“He once said ‘lawmakers can’t be lawbreakers’,” she jabbed. “If, as it appears, the Chancellor has broken the law, then he will have to show he has the backbone to act.”

But Sir Keir Starmer confirmed that no further action would be taken over the rule-breaking Chancellor – following the advice of his Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards.

But with the PM having stressed how the public “rightly expects the highest standards of conduct from the politicians who serve them” to Ms Reeves, GB News is asking: Should he punish the Chancellor after she admitted mistakenly breaking housing law?
