The Chancellor was cut adrift by Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, who said she had never taken free tickets since becoming an MP and was too busy working to attend concerts.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves is facing criticism for accepting free tickets to a Sabrina Carpenter concert and a National Theatre performance. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander distanced herself from Reeves, stating she has never accepted such tickets and prioritizes work and family time. This has led to accusations that Alexander "threw Reeves under the bus," with critics questioning the Chancellor's judgment amid public spending cuts and economic concerns.
