Rayner warns Labour ‘running out of time’ in apparent challenge to Starmer’s leadership
Angela Rayner has warned Labour is “running out of time” to deliver change and cannot “go through the motions in the face of decline” in an apparent challenge to Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership.
In a speech at an event by campaign group Mainstream, the former deputy prime minister said the party had come to be seen to represent “the Establishment, not working people” and called for a change of course.
Ms Rayner cited immigration reform as a key concern, suggesting that changes to indefinite leave to remain for people already living in Britain would be a “breach of trust”.
