Exclusive: deputy leader says party must do more to speak to the people on minimum-wage jobs who she grew up with
Labour has talked down to voters for too long, Angela Rayner says today in the deputy leader’s first bid to assert her newfound authority as the party’s voice of the working class.
In an article for the Guardian, Rayner says Labour would invest tens of billions of pounds in green industries to boost jobs in areas where manufacturing has declined. The proposal, in her new brief on the future of work, is designed to be an answer to Labour’s critics who say the party has offered few bold new policies.
