"Angela Rayner is not just a friend, she is a trailblazer: proof that whatever your start in life, you can rise to the very top through hard work, grit and a government that is willing to fight on the side of working people. She has been an inspiration to so many and a true force of nature. Our party and our government will be poorer without her around the cabinet table."
"Labour was elected in 2024 to rebuild Britain not simply to steady the ship, but to remake it completely. We need strong voices pushing for that renewal: on the economy, on workers' rights and on the climate crisis. For me, that means remaining on the backbenches, where I can speak plainly and campaign boldly. While the prime minister's reshuffle has been described as a political reset, Britain now needs something even more urgent an economic reset."
Angela Rayner rose from humble beginnings through hard work, grit and a government committed to working people. A potential deputy leadership successor will not stand and will remain on the backbenches to speak plainly and campaign boldly for renewal. Labour was elected in 2024 to rebuild Britain, aiming to remake the country on the economy, workers' rights and the climate. The Conservatives left a sluggish economy and debt not repaid by revenue from infrastructure and public services. The Office for Budget Responsibility's short-term analysis overlooks long-term benefits of radical public investment such as Sure Start; current fiscal rules must change to enable transformation.
