UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has come under pressure to defend his finance minister, Rachel Reeves, over the government's fiscal rules and budget plans. Starmer assured that Reeves would balance day-to-day spending with taxation, while driving economic growth to support key reform initiatives. With a focus on sustainable public finances and tax planning, the government aims to achieve long-term fiscal stability and stimulate economic expansion. As the UK navigates its financial future, Starmer's leadership and Reeves' financial strategy will be closely watched by economists and policymakers alike, with fiscal policy and budget management being key areas of attention.
