UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has come under fire to defend his finance minister, Rachel Reeves, over the government's fiscal rules. Starmer assured that Reeves would ensure day-to-day spending is covered by taxes, while also driving economic growth to support the government's reform plans and budget management. With a focus on sustainable public finances and responsible budgeting, the UK government aims to strike a balance between taxation and economic stimulation. Key policies include fiscal responsibility and economic growth strategies.
