Newscast · The Rachel Reeves Interview (Her Last As Chancellor?) · 12 Jul 2026 podcast

But Labour government isn't slipping away.

We're moving to the next phase of this Labour government with Andy as Prime Minister.

And it's quite clear that in the next election, the biggest challenge for Labour is going to come from reform.

And I think Andy is the right person to take our country and our party, but most importantly, our country, on the next stage of this journey.

Well, look,

I think it is perfectly reasonable for people to have ambition.

And Andy has never shied away from the fact that he wanted at some point to leave the Labour Party.

And I want him to be ready for that because I want him to be a success and I am sure he will be.

But it is important that when Andy walks through that door that he has a work-through plan because governing is hard in Britain and lots of challenges and shocks will come his way.

And what is really important is that...

him and his team are really clear about what they want to achieve.

But as those shocks come along, he needs to stay laser-focused on those things that have always motivated him, have always driven him, and are the reason why he wants to lead our great country.

I think that very few of us in government had been in government before.

And I feel two years in as Chancellor, I have a clearer idea now of how to get things done in government.

This job has been the absolute privilege of my life.

But it is important through all the shocks that come your way that you are focused.

I've never wanted to do this job because I thought it was going to be easy.

But this is a job I love.

And every day when I walk into the Treasury, I feel immensely proud to be a Labour Chancellor.

That was probably my toughest moment, or perhaps even tougher, seeing the photos of me crying on national television on the front page of pretty much every newspaper the following day.
