GB News: Rachel Reeves avoids apologising after condemning Treasury Minister for comparing benefits to pocket money: 'Clearly not right'
Rachel Reeves avoids apologising after condemning Treasury Minister for comparing benefits to pocket money: 'Clearly not right'
Chancellor Rachel Reeves faced criticism for her comments comparing benefits to pocket money, which she later acknowledged was "not the right analogy." During a Treasury Select Committee hearing, she distanced herself from Treasury Minister Darren Jones' remarks, insisting her comments were different.

Despite the backlash, Reeves declined to personally apologize and reiterated that her remarks were in response to a specific question. The government's benefit cuts are projected to impact 800,000 individuals and leave over three million families worse off by 2030.
