The ministerial reactions are coming in after Rayner’s resignation. Reshuffle underway…
Wes Streeting, a top contender to replace Rayner, said:
“Angela Rayner has achieved more in the last year than most politicians achieve in a lifetime – a trailblazer for working class kids from backgrounds like ours. When those kids have a council house, when their mums and dads have better rights and pay, they’ll have her to thank.”
Ed Miliband – not so likely:
“Angela Rayner is one of the great British political figures of our time. Generations will grow up with stronger rights at work and in new homes because of her vision and leadership. I know she will continue to stand at the front of the fight for social justice in this country.”
Steve Reed is a possible contender for the role after performing well as DEFRA secretary:
“Angela, you can be so proud of all you’ve achieved for our country and party You knew from your own background what it’s like to struggle and you used that experience to fight for a better future for working families. Thank you.”
Starmer will appoint a replacement DPM according to Downing Street. All to play for – does this mean the Employment Rights Bill goes to the scrapheap too?
