Rachel Reeves is facing a nightmare on Downing Street today after the Prime Minister appeared to chastise her in a new letter late last night.

No. 10 published a letter from Sir Keir to the Chancellor following further revelations about her unlicensed rental home in South London, in which the PM said it was "clearly regrettable" that neither Ms Reeves nor her husband unearthed key emails when the story first broke on Wednesday evening.

Sir Keir appears to be standing by his Chancellor, insisting the row remains a case of "inadvertent failure... which you have apologised for and are now rectifying", adding he sees "no need for any further action".

However the Tories are pressing hard for a full sleaze probe, insisting it is still a story about Ms Reeves breaking the law.
