Labour’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, has revealed she is “doing the groundwork now” to ensure that the party’s next leader is a woman.
The shadow secretary of state for the future of work admitted that she would “certainly be pushing” for Sir Keir Starmer’s successor to be female, but she joked that at the moment she was “happy with Keir because I get to be the woman in charge”.
