Pathetic gesture politics! Fury as Rachel Reeves orders the REMOVAL of all pictures of men in the lavish 11 Downing Street flat

Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves has ordered the REMOVAL of all pictures of men in the lavish 11 Downing Street flat

The move, which has been met with fury by some, is part of Reeves's plan to make the flat more "inclusive" and "representative" of the Labour Party. However, critics have accused Reeves of "gesture politics" and of trying to "erase" the history of the flat.

The 11 Downing Street flat has been the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer since 1997. It is a Grade I listed building and is one of the most prestigious addresses in London.

Reeves, who is the first woman to hold the position of Shadow Chancellor, has said that she wants to make the flat more "welcoming" and "representative" of the Labour Party.

She has ordered the removal of all pictures of men from the flat, including those of former Chancellors of the Exchequer such as Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling.

The move has been met with fury by some, who have accused Reeves of "gesture politics" and of trying to "erase" the history of the flat.

One critic, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "This is nothing more than pathetic gesture politics. Rachel Reeves is trying to erase the history of the flat and make it more 'inclusive'. But she is only doing this to appease her own left-wing supporters.

Another critic, who also wished to remain anonymous, said: "This is a complete overreaction. There is nothing wrong with having pictures of men in the flat. It is part of the history of the building. Rachel Reeves is just trying to appease her own feminist supporters."

Reeves has defended her decision, saying that she wants to make the flat more ‘welcoming’ and ‘representative’ of the Labour Party

In a statement, Reeves said: "I want to make the 11 Downing Street flat more welcoming and representative of the Labour Party.

I have ordered the removal of all pictures of men from the flat, including those of former Chancellors of the Exchequer such as Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling.

I believe that this is an important step towards making the flat a more inclusive and representative space for all members of the Labour Party.

I hope that this move will be welcomed by all members of the Labour Party, and that it will help to make the flat a more welcoming and inclusive space for everyone.
