Rachel Reeves was hit yesterday with a triple blow to her authority.
On a humiliating day for the Chancellor, Sir Keir Starmer U-turned on winter fuel cash, Angela Rayner challenged her economic approach and official figures showed a jump in inflation.
The Chancellor was out of the country at a G7 meeting in Canada as the Prime Minister announced a screeching reverse on her hated decision to axe the winter fuel payment for 10 million pensioners.
And leaked documents revealed that Deputy Prime Minister Ms Rayner is pushing Ms Reeves to replace benefit cuts with higher taxes on the better off.
Left-wing Labour MPs rallied behind Ms Rayner's demand, prompting the Tories to claim that the Cabinet was in 'open warfare' over taxes.
