💨 Abstract

Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces scrutiny over failing to obtain a legally required license for renting her family home, raising questions about her compliance with the ministerial code. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has "full confidence" in her, consulted the government’s ethics adviser, who deemed her apology sufficient. However, opposition claims she broke the law, and further revelations could threaten her position, especially with the Budget looming.
