DURING THE WEEK, the UK’s Labour party’s chancellor Rachel Reeves grew visibly emotional during Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons as British prime minister Keir Starmer declined to guarantee that she would remain in her role until the next election.
Despite a UK government spokesperson saying that Reeves was tearful over a “personal issue” in the Commons on Wednesday afternoon, many remained unconvinced.
By Wednesday evening, as the front pages for Thursday’s newspapers in the UK were revealed, it was clear that Reeves’s tears had dominated the news agenda. The Telegraph headlined its front page story ‘Pound falls after Reeves’s tears’.
Reeves’s tears will no doubt go down in history. See how much you know about these other famous tears.
