Sir Keir Starmer last night refused to punish Rachel Reeves for breaking housing rules once again after taking the advice of his ethics chief.
The PM publicly chastised his Chancellor – and her husband – for not showing him emails with their estate agency sooner.
In a testy swipe at his Downing Street neighbour, the PM said: “I accept that you were acting in good faith when you wrote to me last night.
“However, it would clearly have been better if you and your husband had conducted a full trawl through all email correspondence with the estate agency before writing to me yesterday.”
Ms Reeves had claimed she and her husband were not aware that a licence was necessary to let out their south London home – and shifted the blame onto estate agents.
The estate agents apologised to the Chancellor for their “oversight” – but on Thursday, emails emerged confirming her husband had in fact been told about the licence.
Now, GB News is asking: Should the Chancellor resign over the rule break?
