UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces pressure to fund pensioner aid and address child poverty amid budget constraints.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces pressure from Labour MPs to fund winter fuel payments for pensioners and scrap the two-child benefit cap, which could cost £3.5 billion. She must also address child poverty as she prepares to present her spending review next month. The government's child poverty strategy has been delayed to the autumn to align with the budget. Reeves is under scrutiny to balance these demands with economic stability.
