Rachel Reeves – Labour MP for Leeds West and Pudsey since 2010. Rachel is Chancellor of the Exchequer. (A massive improvement on Kwasi Kwarteng, I’m sure you’ll agree.).

With her salary of £150,000, expenses (£36,592.93 claimed since 2024), generous donations, rental income, book advances, many media appearance fees, allowances and perks, Rachel has certainly been enjoying that first-class ‘lifestyle’ that was once a concern for her employer in those far-off days at HBOS.
Even political deities must vote on those humdrum bills, even ones that they’ve had a hand in presenting to Parliament.
So it was with a heavy heart on 9th July 2025 that Rachel voted for the Universal Credit/PIP cuts that will result in further hardship down the line for people who are disabled and vulnerable. Rachel also voted to scrap the #WinterFuelPayment to pensioners and voted to retain the two-child benefit cap, which ‘significantly contributes to child poverty’ in the U.K.
