No city in the United Kingdom has produced more Labour Chancellors than Leeds.
First Hugh Gaitskell under Clement Attlee’s post-war government, then Denis Healey in the 1970s. Now Leeds West and Pudsey MP Rachel Reeves has joined that illustrious club. She is well aware of that history. In her first interview with the Yorkshire Post since the election, she highlighted her predecessors, saying: “It's great to join that pack and also be the first female Chancellor of the Exchequer.
“That was an amazing feeling because at long last we’re able to start finally putting into practice all those things we’ve been campaigning about, talking about all the time that I’ve been an MP.” Ms Reeves has wasted no time in getting to work, and she says she is under no illusions over the task facing her. “The plans I am inheriting are - I would argue - the worst since the Second World War,” Ms Reeves explained.
