Rachel Reeves's tickets marked "inappropriate" by the Minister of Labor in fresh humiliation for the Chancellor

A minister of work said that accepting tickets for free concerts is not “appropriate” after it emerged that Rachel Reeves had participated in an O2 concert and a national theatrical performance for free.

Matthew Pennycook said he would pay for tickets on his own if he wanted to go to a concert – and he promised that he never accepted the tributes in the past.

He said to LBC: “I don’t personally think it’s appropriate. If I want to go to a concert at O2, I’ll pay it.”

It comes after Rachel Reeves was invited to “be cleaned” after it emerged, he accepted theatrical tickets for a value of almost £ 300 at Christmas.

The chancellor, who earns almost £ 150,000 a year, accepted tickets for £ 276 with value for the importance of Oscar Wilde that he is serious and an adaptation of Neil Streatfield dance shoes to the National Theater on December 27th.

It arrives a few days after it emerged that Reeves had accepted free tickets to look at Sabrina Carpenter performing at Arena O2 at the beginning of this month.

It is said that he sat in a company box to watch the concert at the O2 Arena, where some resale tickets cost almost £ 1,000.

A conservative source said to The Mail: “Reeves must be cleaned and reveal how it came to get these tributes.

“It seems to be more concentrated on Jollies than on the correction of the mistakes of his budget. It is no wonder that he needs an emergency budget.

“It is a slap in the face of the workers who does not seem agitated the economy and the tank, the trust of the companies is shot and the taxes are at the highest record. Show how much out of the world it is.”

GB News faced the treasure for a comment.

Non -Muslims could be victims of Islamophobia under Angela Rayner’s plans

Angela Rayner

People erroneously identified as Muslims could be victims of Islamophobia under the controversial new definition of Angela Rayner of the term

People erroneously identified as Muslims could be victims of Islamophobia under the controversial new definition of Angela Rayner’s term.

The deputy prime minister, whose department supervises “community relations”, proposed that followers of other religions such as Buddhism, Hinduism or Sikhism – which could be perceived as Muslims – will be covered by its plans.

Rayner’s “Islamophobia advice”, chaired by the former general prosecutor Dominic Grieve, is informing it about “appropriate and sensitive language to describe, understand and define unacceptable care, prejudices, discrimination and hatred targeting Muslims or anyone who is perceived as Muslim”.

And in new advice published on Monday, the Council said that the government should adopt “a non -statutory definition of unacceptable treatment of Muslims and anyone who has been perceived as Muslim, including what should be a proposed definition”.

Despite Warnings of a “blasphemy law”Rayner insisted that a new definition is necessary as part of Labor’s thrust to guarantee all citizens to receive equal care and can freely express their opinions, beliefs and a sense of identity.

But the advice of the deputy PM warned: “Unfortunately, this is not always the case; too many British Muslims have faced discrimination and hatred because of their religion. We recognize that anti-Musulmano/Islamophobia hatred can also have an impact on communities that are perceived as Muslims.

“There are often cultural markers that are adopted by wider communities of faith such as Sikh, Hindu, Jain and Buddhist who are used to attack communities that are erroneously identified as Muslim. This is also true for people without faith.”

Charlie Mullins

Reform the United Kingdom Donor Charlie Mullins was threatened to be stripped of his OBE after threatening Sadiq Khan on social media

The UK reform donor Charlie Mullins was threatened to be stripped of his obe after threatening Sadiq Khan on social media.

The Committee for the forfeiture of honors accused Mullins of “ruining the system of honors” through a series of observations dating back to 2022 – and said it was “lied to recommend to his majesty that your obese is revoked”.

The lawyers who act for Mullins had supported his case – and had committed himself to involving the “formation of gender sensitivity and diversity” – and he had been told that any action would be undertaken last week.

However, it was warned to be able to face further investigations “if any future behavior made this necessary”.

Now, Plumbers’ founder has blamed the work for the “politically motivated threat”.

He said to Telegraph: “He is definitely politically motivated. I am victimized because I left the United Kingdom and I said I’m no longer playing with them.

“I also made a big noise that are driving billionaires and millionaires, laborious people, out of the country. So I made a nice noise on what I sincerely believe to be the truth.

“Anyone who talks against them wants to destroy, and that’s what they are doing here with me. They think that, since I opened my mouth and said the truth, they think they will be silent to me. Well, I’m not.”

The Committee considers the cases in which it is said that the holder of an honor has brought the system of honors to ruin, while the recommendations for forfeiture are presented to the king through the prime minister.

The cabinet office refused to comment when it was approached by GB News.
