Rachel Reeves said she is ‘really proud’ to become chancellor of the Exchequer, a post that has been held by men for hundreds of years.
Rachel Reeves has said that becoming Britain’s first female chancellor feels like “smashing one of the last glass ceilings in politics”.
During a visit to the Oval Village housing development in south-east London the same day, Ms Reeves told ITN: “The position of chancellor of the Exchequer has existed for hundreds of years, and a woman has never held that role. “But along with it, comes a really big responsibility to pass on to our daughters and granddaughters a society and economy that works better for women, and I’m determined to work with my team to do just that.”
