  • The Deputy Leader of the Labour party was brought up by a parent who could not read or write. After getting pregnant and leaving school aged 16, Angela Rayner became a home carer where she found her feet as a union representative, eventually rising to be Unison’s most senior official in the North West. Now she’s taking on the government over workers’ rights and cronyism; her battles no longer fought on the estate she grew up on, but from across the despatch box.

    I am so glad this interview came up in my list. It's such a shame that the Tory Media have it in for her and have managed to publish their nasty stories (Lies) about her just because she does stand up to them and her Tory opponents and doesn't let them bully her. She has massively gone up in my estimation through this interview. She is an inspiration. If more people, who are feeling downtrodden and in despair, because of what the Tories have done to our country and public services over the last 13 years, saw this interview they would find someone who is an ally. Someone, who is willing to stand up and fight to get back what the Tories have got rid of. The Sure Start scheme was one of the best initiatives that ever existed. It did so much to help communities and young struggling families to break the vicious circles of poverty & deprivation, as Angela herself says, that if it hadn't been there when she needed them then she wouldn't be in Parliament today and she would have just perpetuated the same mistakes on her own children. We must get the nasty vicious Tories out at the next election and get a government in that will bring vital services (Like Sure Start & Local gov Home Care services) back and never allow the Tories back in to destroy them ever again.

    She is doing a great job of 'biding her time' and keeping her head down under the Starmer regime, clearly the only reason she has survived the purge of the left by Smarmer is because she is the ELECTED deputy leader and Tory Starmer can't sack her, yet, but I have no doubt that her 'card has been marked' she sounds way too much like Mr Corbyn, and that sort of behaviour is no longer tolerated in the brave new Labour party.

    From a fellow Angela, I heap praise on this humble, funny, fair, intelligent, creative woman. From such a humble background, knowing poverty, knowing struggle, knowing and undesrstanding mental health and its affects, has come a STRONG woman, determined to change not only her life, but to open doors to that, for others too. Angela I wish you strength, I wish you courage and I wish you wisdom.
    LABOUR, if you don't want to lose the next election, get this gritty woman into the Labour leaders position asap. To not do so, will be at your own peril. The "commoner", the everyday people of this United Kingdom, will relate to her life experience and be 100% more likely to vote for her, than Sir Kier Starmer, who has literally zero undesrstanding, and zero connection with the electorate. I wish Angela all the successes she deserves in her life, for her commitment to making change and making things better. What an inspirational woman. ❤ loved this
