Women in Politics Get Much More Abuse than Men, PM Says
Prime Minister Keir Starmer highlights sexism and media bias as key reasons women like Chancellor Rachel Reeves face harsher criticism than men in UK politics.
- Ahead of Wednesday's Budget, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was acutely aware women in public roles face more abuse and criticism than men and he absolutely wanted Angela Rayner back at the top of Government.
- The chancellor said she was sick of people mansplaining how to be Chancellor to her, and she highlighted that newspaper columnists and the media target her, as the first woman in over 800 years to hold the role.
- Angela Rayner resigned in September after being found to have breached the Ministerial Code following a tax underpayment, having served as housing secretary and Sir Keir's deputy.
- Ahead of the Budget on Wednesday, Rachel Reeves, Chancellor, said she has seen off similar critics before and will continue to do so as she prepares to deliver her second Budget.
- Sir Keir Starmer said he was really proud to have appointed Rachel Reeves, the UK's first female Chancellor, describing her as a leading example of social mobility from a challenging childhood to high office.
