What’s really going on with Rachel Reeves?

Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy serve up their essential guide to the day in British politics.

After Chancellor Rachel Reeves was seen visibly sobbing at PMQs, the prime minister last night confirmed she would be chancellor for a long time to come – but will that be enough to calm fears in the markets? And what do we think is really going on with the chancellor? Sam and Anne discuss.

And what about Keir Starmer’s fate – are some in his own party questioning his longevity?

Also, the NHS 10-year plan includes the creation of 200 new neighbourhood health centres as well as improvements to the NHS app – but does it improve the fundamentals?

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
