Rachel Reeves Exit Date Odds: Chancellor 2/1 To Leave Before End Of Calendar Year
According to the latest odds at William Hill, Rachel Reeves is now as short as 2/1 to leave her role as Chancellor of the Exchequer before the turn of the year.
After admitting to a rental license oversight, Reeves’ odds of leaving her role as Chancellor have shortened into 2/1, having previously been as big as 6/1 earlier this week.
Rachel Reeves Exit Date Odds:
Punters can bet on when Rachel Reeves will leave her role as Chancellor of the Exchequer at William Hill and here is the current state of the market:
- 2025 – 2/1
- 2026 – 4/7
- 2027 – 10/1
- 2028 – 10/1
- 2029 or later – 12/1
Should the Labour Cabinet Minister survive the remainder of the year, a 2026 exit seems most likely at 4/7. A 2027 and 2028 departure is deemed less likely, at 10/1, with a 2029 or later exit at longer odds of 12/1.
Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Rachel Reeves is under scrutiny this week after her ‘regrettable’ oversight made around rental licensing. As a result, we’ve slashed her odds of not seeing out the year in her current role as Chancellor to 2/1 from 6/1 earlier this week.
“While it’s being reported that the Prime Minister will take no disciplinary action over the situation, we have a 2026 exit the most likely outcome for Reeves at 4/7.
“Remaining in her role for at least another 14 months seems less likely and we’re 10/1 Reeves doesn’t leave her position until 2027 or indeed 2028. The next general election is set to be called in 2029 at the very latest, and a departure in four years’ time is a long shot at 12/1.”
