Andrew (Mountbatten Windsor) saves the Chancellor
Episode description
Happy All Hallows’ Eve, everyone – and there is something spooky going on with Rachel Reeves and a property in Dulwich. Yesterday she was leading the news after admitting to renting out her family home following the move into No. 11 without getting the required licence from Southwark Council. There are a number of mitigating circumstances – not least the fact that the lettings agent said they would obtain the licence – but the Prime Minister has been forced to put out a statement. He backs her, for now, but will he come to regret that? Listen for a rare defence of Rachel Reeves on this podcast from our economics editor.
Not to be outdone, the Palace have helpfully moved the news agenda along by taking the decision to strip Andrew Mountbatten Windsor – as he is now called – of his titles. Who is behind the decision: the King, or the future King?
Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and Michael Simmons.
