‘Chancellor’s tears spark market pain’ | Thursday’s newspapers 

Almost all of Thursday’s UK newspaper front pages feature an image of Chancellor Rachel Reeves crying during Prime Minister’s Questions.

Reeves in tears at PMQs spooks market – 10-year plan for health service – Palestine Action banned

Thursday’s headlines are dominated by analysis over Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s tearful appearance at yesterday’s Prime Minister’s Questions. As the PM faced questions at the dispatch box, he was asked if the Chancellor would remain in post and appeared to avoid answering. The Chancellor was seen crying behind him. Starmer has since said he backs the chancellor completely and she will not be replaced.

The chancellor’s tears caused some panic in the market, leading to a multi-billion-pound sell-off. There is further analysis of Starmer’s grip on his party, as some Labour MPs want a cabinet reshuffle.

The prime minister will set out a 10-year plan for a “neighbourhood health service” in England this morning, in a move he’ll surely be hoping will deflect attention from his chancellor.

Four people have been charged by counter-terrorism police over a break-in at RAF Brize Norton last month, during which military planes were damaged. It comes as MPs voted to ban Palestine Action under anti-terror laws.
