Matt Pound, the political director to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, will leave the Treasury next week following the spring statement. His departure was reached by mutual agreement and follows the recent exit of senior aide Morgan McSweeney. Reeves praised Pound as a pivotal figure in securing Labour’s general election victory and stabilising public finances. This resignation marks another significant change within the government’s senior political team amid ongoing internal adjustments.
