Rachel Reeves Faces Backlash Over Rental Rule Breach as Calls for Resignation Grow

Chancellor Rachel Reeves is under scrutiny after admitting to unlawfully renting out her family home without the necessary license. This breach of housing law has sparked a potential ethics investigation, with some politicians, including Kemi Badenoch, calling for her resignation. While Labour leader Keir Starmer has defended Reeves, stating no investigation is needed, pressure continues to mount amid claims of hypocrisy as she has previously endorsed landlord licensing rules. Reeves could also face financial repercussions, including the repayment of up to £38,000 in rent. As political tensions rise, the situation raises questions about accountability and compliance in government.
