Rubbing salt into the wounds of the core Tory vote.
They can’t help but sneer at Rayner.
I always like what I hear from Angela Rayner. So refreshing to have a real person like her in the heart of government.
Shame they kept the ‘Levelling up’ title though, which was demonstrably a complete sham from the Tories. Hopefully Labour can do it properly, rather than just paying lip service to as a means of syphoning off contracts to their own donors.
It was the first mistake of many from the woeful Sunak campaign:- to try, and miserably fail, to smear Rayner.
I like how quickly they’re getting through the list, there’s no hours of jockeying for position, and even though some of the departments were stupidly reorganised and renamed over the last decade they aren’t reorganising anything again at this point.
Secretary of State for Levelling Up is a real job? I thought it was just something the Tories made up
An absolutely perfect appointment. Angela Rayner is passionate about housing and communities, has stated many times that given the chance her priority would be providing more social housing. A campaign of building local authority housing would be a good use of government spending, would provide jobs and take the heat off the housing market for young families and first time buyers.
Good luck to her. She is an example of what Labour should be. A party of aspiration. Meanwhile Yvette “house flipping, expenses robbing(alledgedly) wife of balls” is the new Home Secretary. Good luck increasing police numbers. The Tories tried and failed.
Edit. Downvoted again for daring to present the truth. The met are struggling to get numbers up, as are several other forces. Tell me good people of r/unitedkingdom how they are going to fare any better under Labour.
This feels like too many responsibilities. Not a criticism of Rayner, but given how much needs to be done on housing, I’d like to see one senior person given it as their sole focus, not a part-time responsibility.
Anyone else noticed there’s A LOT of comments on this sub talking about how Labour did shit considering it’s a “landslide” and are trying their best to denounce them?
Funny that
What’s hello in Russian?
Has “levelling up” ever been defined? Can we stop with this phrase now please?
Lots of people seem to like her. I find her shallow and sneering and somehow spiteful. She seems to think an awful lot of herself. I hope she is competent but I can’t like her.
And I could imagine her smacking someone if they threw an egg
Urgh, Rayner. Low IQ, offers nothing. Expecting very little. Surely there are better options?

If rather she had something to do with work. She’s really the only left winger left in the Labour Party right now with any seniority and we really need some left wing policies for work at the moment.
I wonder who has our best interests at heart, a working class woman who knows poverty, or some millionaire toffee nosed twat who used to burn 50s in front of tramps for shits and giggles?
This appointment is a bit strange..
Duty PM really isn’t a thing until recent right? With Cameron and clegg that I can remember.
Housing secretary don’t really do much right.. they aware contract for government projects right?
And this levelling up is a bunch of Tory shit right?
Don’t get me wrong.. he’s in high government indeed and that’s an irrefutable fact.
I always image she’ll hold more tradition office.
But that’s Stamer’s choice and his choice only.
I wonder who’s going to get Home Secretary..
Revees is treasury for sure..
