Rachel Reeves’ decision to accept free Sabrina Carpenter tickets threatens to reignite the freebies row which rocked the government last year
A minister criticized Rachel Reeves for accepting free Sabrina Carpenter concert tickets, reigniting a debate about ministers accepting gifts amidst government spending cuts. While some ministers distanced themselves or stated their own policy of paying for tickets, the Prime Minister supported ministers making their own judgments. Reeves cited security reasons for accepting the tickets, which she stated were not available for purchase, and said she would declare their value.
