Downing Street has been forced to deny that Rachel Reeves’s tears during Prime Minister’s Questions came after a row with Sir Keir Starmer earlier in the day.
Mystery surrounds the exact reason why the British Chancellor was overcome by emotion and wiped away tears in the Commons on Wednesday.
Earlier, it had been reported that she cried after an “altercation” with Sir Lindsay Hoyle, the Commons Speaker.
Her team circulated a statement following PMQs, saying it was “a personal matter”. No more details about the circumstances have been provided.
