Cabinet at war over budget cuts|

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner was one of three members of the top team asking for extra funding when spending settlements are finalised.

But Sir Keir Starmer's team at No10 has said they should expect "tough conversations" and warned department leaders will not be able to do everything they want.
