New shadow levelling up secretary says ‘gaffer picks the team’ amid anger from Angela Rayner allies over reshuffle
The new shadow levelling up secretary, Lisa Nandy, has dismissed a rift between Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner on Tuesday, saying the Labour leader had a right to make the calls on how he chose his frontbench.
Nandy said she saw her new role as being “to deliver on the broken promises of the last 11 years” and said there was a “hell of a lot to do” in the department of levelling up, housing, communities, and local government.
