24 hours before the Chancellor’s welfare and public expenditure declarations, Rachel Reeves was publicly criticized by a minister’s colleague for taking “FreeBi” tickets at Sabrina Carpenter concert.

Housing Minister Matthew Pennikuke was asked what he thought Reeves‘Decide to attend a concert in the VIP box earlier this month without paying for the ticket.

“I personally don’t think it is appropriate,” Pennicuke told the LBC. “If I want to go to a concert at 2, I will pay for it but then the Independent MP, Independent Ministers will make their own decisions.”

The issue is harmful to Reeves because his spring statement will be provided on Wednesday, there will be cuts that will cause pain on many ordinary voters and it is already causing dissatisfaction among labor MPs.

It was also embarrassed by the government that a laborer, including a laborer, including Reeves and Sir Care Starrs, was touched by the release of free clothing.

On Wednesday Reeves’ statement will confirm $ 5 billion of welfare cuts and an impact that can affect it will be evaluated. The cuts are equivalent to taking $ 5,000 a year from 1 million people.

Reeves will also confirm at least 5 billion dollars from planned public expenses, some ministers have warned the impact on the public services at the cabinet meeting this month.

The Chancellor’s hardness on the need for public expenditure is now against the background of a bad political debate about his own lifestyle.

He received a VIP ticket at Sabrina Carpenter Concert in London and 2 “to a member of my family”, Reeves said on Sunday that the minister was publicly publicly released.

“I thought it was the right thing to do it from a security point of view.”

Asked about the BBC’s Laura Queensburg, why did he pay for them, Reeve replied: “These tickets were not the money you could pay, so they had no value.”

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has added Reeve’s discomfort, announcing that there is no time to go to the concert since last July elections. “I was very busy,” she told Times Radio on Monday.

Shadow Cabinet Office Minister Mike Wood said Penicook’s comments were “Profit Champion Lifestyle Rovel Roves since becoming the Chancellor”.

He also added: “The Chancellor must kick his addiction to freebiz and concentrate on undoing the loss of family financing in his emergency budget tomorrow.”
