Rachel Reeves LIVE: Keir Starmer told 'grow a backbone' as emails released

The Tories have demanded Keir Starmer "grow a backbone" and launch a formal sleaze probe into Rachel Reeves's housing arrangements after bombshell new emails tore apart key claims from the Chancellor.

Ms Reeves is in the spotlight after it was revealed she had been letting her south London home out without a license since moving into No. 11.

This evening Downing Street published new emails between Ms Reeves's husband to their letting agents, which showed that the agents volunteered to apply for a licence on their behalf, however thanks to a staffing turnover this was never fulfilled.

In response the Tories pointed out that last night Rachel Reeves claimed to have had no idea about the requirement to get a licence to let out her home, despite the emails showing otherwise.

A Tory spokesman said: "With more information coming to light every few hours, the Prime Minister needs to grow a backbone and start a proper investigation."
