RACHEL Reeves yesterday defended accepting free tickets to a Sabrina Carpenter gig, claiming it was for security reasons.

The Chancellor said she went to the O2 Arena concert with a family member and insisted it was “the right thing to do”; given her security needs.

She told the BBC: “I do now have security, which means it’s not as easy as it would have been in the past to just sit in a concert, although probably a lot easier for everyone concerned.

“So look, I took those tickets to go with a member of my family.

“I think that was the right thing to do from a security aspect.”;

Asked whether she paid for the tickets, Ms Reeves said: “These weren’t tickets that you could pay for, so there wasn’t a price.

“Obviously there was a price, but they weren’t tickets you were able to buy.”;

Reports of Ms Reeves’ enjoyment of corporate hospitality earlier this month, said to have been provided by AEG, sparked a backlash from Labour MPs unhappy with welfare cuts.

It also comes after Labour faced growing scrutiny over ministers accepting freebies – with Sir Keir Starmer and other Cabinet figures previously blasted for taking Taylor Swift tickets and luxury gifts.
