Angela Rayner expected to get significant new role after backlash following her removal as party chair
Keir Starmer is expected to reshuffle his frontbench on Sunday, including finding a significant new role for his deputy, Angela Rayner, after his decision to remove her as party chair and national campaign coordinator caused a backlash.
Rayner’s sacking was criticised as “scapegoating” by the former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, while the newly re-elected Manchester mayor, Andy Burnham, tweeted that he could not support it.
