Meet Rachel Reeves – Britain’s next chancellor? – POLITICS

Westminster Insider profiles the woman who could lead Britain alongside Keir Starmer in a year. Host Ailbhe Rea sits down with Labor shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves to explore her background, her political instincts, her successes and failures… and tries her hand at a game of chess against the former child star.

Reeves takes us back to 1980s South London where she grew up; Oxford University from its New Labor years; his career in banking before and after the global financial crisis; and her early experiences as a young female MP – and selects the moments that made her the politician she is today.
