�* , ., .,, rayner? i'd say she has a serious and determined _ rayner?deputy prime minister. i feel very confident in her because she is incredibly robust and strong and knows why she is doing her politics. it is not a job for her, not a career, it is her whole being. she had a very difficult upbringing, she had a baby when she was a teenager and she knows what it is like to struggle and she is determined to be in government so other people can have better opportunities. as laura just said, keir starmer at one point tried to sideline her and she would not be sidelined. she did not say we must not have any routes within the party, we must keep on an even keel. she said no, i am entitled to be there and i will stay that and i think after that they have a better relationship of mutual respect. i really admire her and i think she will be doing workers' rights, she is very close to the unions, she was a union official herself that she is not afraid to disagree with the unions if she thinks they are wrong. and she will become the first labour deputy female pri

shadow cabinet, miss rayner?unity secretary. >> you know what? what job do you want, angela rayner? what job do you want in government ? job do you want in government? angela rayner. they're not answering my questions. but there we have it. as expected, as we forecast the first person in through the front door is the deputy leader of the labour party, angela rayner. and that would be quite an important relationship for sir keir starmer to get right, she of course is elected by members. she can't be sacked from the role as deputy leader. but what can be negotiated is what role she has in government and what role sir keir starmer gives to her. that role that relationship with angela rayner will be absolutely crucial over the next five years. >> yes, it will be christopher and there she is , marching with and there she is, marching with her face looking quite stern , her face looking quite stern, looking, walking with purpose to number 10, a big moment for angela rayner. it will be very interesting indeed. >> she di

and angela rayner is now one of britain's most powerful women.s such a mature and balanced statesperson. >> yes, this is angela rayner. she's the woman who basically was a bit fraudulent with her. was she fraudulent? accused of being fraudulent ? being fraudulent? >> yeah, i'd say, possibly . being fraudulent? >> yeah, i'd say, possibly. i think she definitely lived in the correct house that she said, that's my opinion. yeah. >> she lived in one of those two houses. she's going to be. she's going to be the new deputy, the new deputy prime minister, which is i would think the more important job is the is the chancellor of the exchequer is more important. >> yeah. but some people are claiming for some reason now that rain is more important, even though everyone knows chancellor is the second most important because of the way the labour party i did not read this and i'll tell you why i didn't read it, because any time they say, oh, she's one of the most powerful women, she's the second in control. >> she's one of those whatever it is, she's she's th

but, you know, angela rayner that you highlighted david lammy.ing to do on israel. and he's already indicated you know, i do think that the previous prime minister, rishi sunak, was really clear about britain's support for the state of israel, given what happened on last october. so i really worry, from some of the clips you showed both from angela rayner and so we'll wait and see. the honeymoon will be short lived , honeymoon will be short lived, we'll wait and see to see what what happens. >> okay. >> okay. >> it's also worth noting as well , in case >> it's also worth noting as well, in case you might have missed this, sir keir starmer has apparently already scrapped the rwanda plan. so that's one of the first things that he's done on day one. when you look at the kind of calibre of personnel there, joanna and i know that people will say, and they have every right to say that the calibre of the personnel that the tories had was was pretty shocking as well. but when you actually look at that now, you know, deputy prime minister angela rayner go

but then angela rayner has said social housing will be put to the asylum seeker stock. asylum seekers will be entitled and she's already said that every constituency would have to take its fair share of asylum seekers if the government builds millions of homes, that would be rolling out the red carpet to the dinghies. >> well, look, but politically, from my perspective, it should be britain's first. those that have paid into the system should get first dibs on that housing stock, particularly the our waiting list now in in britain is about a million long, as in those that are waiting for housing. but but what's very uncharacteristic i think from labouris uncharacteristic i think from labour is that they haven't talked about the return of council housing. you would imagine that a left leaning government would be talking about building council houses via local authorities, but actually very unusually, what rachel reeves said in her speech last monday was that they're going to leave that to the private sector. why? well, because i guess, look, is it too problematic? is it

angela rayner announced targets. angela rayner announced those in the commons.does is you pick your constituency leafy green rally, it will set town against town, village against village, community against community. i've been an mp nearly for nearly a quarter of a century. andrew, one thing i've learned about development is you can do it successfully, but you have to do it with people and not. and not two people. this is doing it. two people. and the targets will be so high they'll be completely unrealistic. it's a recipe for disaster. okay, i'm with you. >> thank you. mark, always good to talk to you. >> thank you. right up next we're going to celebrate. thank goodness a change of mood. we're going to celebrate. team gb's success at the olympics with britain's newsroom on gb news 1023 this is britain's newsroom with me , bev turner and andrew pierce. >> so the former bbc presenter huw edwards, when doyen of the bbc wasn't he for decades , has bbc wasn't he for decades, has pleaded guilty at westminster magistrates court to three counts of making indecent image

but let's talk about the broader point then about angela rayner.e's been getting in touch with council leaders, offering people the opportunity now to be bold, step forward and get in touch with them to kind of figure out ways of making decisions at a local level now. or do you think ? yes. level now. or do you think? yes. >> i mean, i never thought i'd be saying this, but i agree with angela rayner in the sense that after brexit, the big promise in british politics, one of the big promises was levelling up the left behind regions. i mean, we have people don't know this, but we have the highest rates of regional inequality in much of the western world. so the difference between for example, london and the north east or london and the north east or london and the north east or london and wales, and this is ultimately what helped boris johnson get elected in 2019. this big promise to level up the regions, what the conservatives did, though, is they basically said, we'll help you level up. if you apply to the centre for money, for pots of money will t

but nobody's really defined the role for angela rayner yet . and her for angela rayner yet.ing her to get out there. do more, be seen, you know, get stuck in. but we all know, get stuck in. but we all know that there's still that divide between the blairites and the more corbynites. and of course , now that side have course, now that side have served their purpose of getting keir in, the questions are emerging as to what's going to happen. is keir simply going to kind of put that away, that side of the party away? so i don't know, but i just think it's, still highly speculative. so can't say . can't say. >> nick. is she being frozen out? i mean, she can't be fired. so just take the week off. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, it wouldn't surprise me if she is. i mean, deputy prime minister, it's not clear what the role means. it's kind of one of those. vice president. >> sounds good. unless you're actually in politics, you realise. >> oh, it kind of means nothing. and so as i say in the article, where is out there? and rachel and all the, all the blairite lot and she's there, you

angela rayner, thank you for being with us.r time with people who are... think a similar way, whose assessment and interpretation of politics is driven by the events that are happening inside westminster, or what people in westminster are talking about and that can feel kind of huge. but sometimes the way that's being perceived from the outside isn't the way it always looks from the inside. so i think it's completely crucial that journalists spend time away from westminster. i'm ed thomas, i'm the bbc�*s uk editor. i'm based outside of london, in salford. my brief is to get into communities and speak to people the bbc doesn't always really get hold of, and that's what we've done this election. so, we went to middlesbrough, which is covered by cleveland police. we also went to peterborough, which has been transformed by immigration, and we went to grimsby, a town which has really been hit by the cost—of—living crisis. there's nothing here. it's gone. can politics fix this? no, not at all. we were actually on the way to a differe

angela rayner, the deputy prime minister saying this week that they weren't able to afford to put thatinging in pressures of the snp and the greens from loss opposition party say it it should be going and they intend to try and get that put by amendments in discussion. there's also labour backbenchers who are also labour backbenchers who are also suggesting that it will try to do the same. the expectation on any sort of rebellion is low given the sheer numbers that labour now has on the commons and the fact that from what angela rayner has said that everett doesn't look like it's budging on this. there's turmoil in the welsh labour party tonight, after the first minister's decision to stand down. vaughan gething has only been in the job since march, and his replacement would be the 3rd labour first minister, in less than 6 months. today, four of his own ministers quit the government, saying they wanted his resignation, but pressure has been mounting for sometime. he's been facing questions about a £200—thousand donation he took while running to become welsh labour leader, and last mont

. >> so kemi badenoch warns angela rayner she's been stitched up by labourin rayner she's been stitchedbour in a brutal speech. so she tore into labour's housing proposals, warning angela rayner that she's been set up as a fall guy by keir starmer. there's already this sort of rivalry between starmer and rayner, coming into play here. but laboun coming into play here. but labour, you know, got into power. they said we're going to build 1.5 million new homes. that's 800 new homes a day. over the course of their of the course of their, they're being in government. >> can you build a home in a day? it's almost like an amish. oh, it's an average. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no, they did it in that film. witness the all the amish people. they'll probably just get some amish builders. >> good for them. >> good for them. >> over. yeah, it'll be a different kind of, bearded people coming into the uk, but. but, yeah, basically they're under they're, they're saying, yeah, they might leave us. you know what i mean? they do that in some. i've seen, seen that in afghanistan. but, i don't i'm not saying the

i mean , rayner has the thing. i mean, rayner has got away with whatever she did.rson is now in the can get a peerage. starmer's not going to clean up anything at all, is he? he's just going to get away with more because he's because he's starmer, because he's on the left and she's returning his education minister as well. >> so it's good. you know she's setting the moral standards. >> yes. and teachers. and she's a real blair hire as well. she was from the blair era. blair's back pulling all the strings. we know this. and starmer is going to get an easy ride from the media. he's like a one man lockdown. he'll get the easiest possible. you know how lockdown just got an easier ride. oh why can't you lock down more with starmer? all the journalist questions will be like keir, why are you so amazing? that would be just all the questions would be just all the questions would be clapping him while he eats an ice cream. >> it's disgusting. joe biden all over. >> yeah. yeah, exactly. he'll just come up and say, as you can see, today is wednesday. oh it's amazing. it's goi

angela rayner will serve as deputy prime minister.cooper — who was a cabinet minister under gordon brown the last time labour were in power, 1a years ago, will be the home secretary. and david lammy will become the uk's new foreign secretary. a feature of the election campaign were the headline—grabbing stunts from the liberal democrat leader sir ed davey — including falling off a paddle board and bungeejumping. well, it seems that the tactics worked. the lib dems now have 71 seats — 63 more than before — although their share of the vote only went up by 0.6 percent. as you can see from these pictures, sir ed was happy to celebrate the outcome. trust is a very precious commodity, it is hard one and sometimes you've lost it, you lose it. and you're left to work for a hard to win it back and i thank people for trusting us again. we will not let you down. we will honour your trust. the liberal democrats _ we will honour your trust. the liberal democrats the third—largest party here in westminster and reform uk let's look at the reform uk

as david lammy as foreign secretary — and angela rayner as deputy prime minister.vice', and pledged to restore trust in politics. i was joined by our expert team of bbc correspondents — our health editor, huw pym, our education correspondent hazel shearing, our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford — and our business correspondent, vishala sri—pathma. i began by asking vishala what the business community is expecting from the new labour government. it's really interesting, ben, because she has really sort of carefully considered that tone and relationship, hasn't she, with the city, with with finance, which is clearly very important part with the city, with finance, which is clearly very important part of the economy. and she really wanted to make sure. and she said earlier in speeches on the campaign trail that the uk is viewed as this sort of safe haven for investors. so that's an interesting strategy, very different to her predecessor, john mcdonnell in the labour party. but in terms of policies, you know, she's going to face the same sort of fiscal constr

why was angela rayner leaving ? rayner leaving?ining for the past 24 hours. as far as i can make out, no. angela rayner arrived for a meeting in a bright orange dress and now has left and been driven, driven away in what looked like a government car. i think that's quite a good thing, probably for keir starmer, because that relationship between angela rayner and sir keir starmer , the deputy leader, keir starmer, the deputy leader, and of course the prime minister, is so important to get right. and there has been some tension in the past, notably back in 2021 when angela rayner called tories scum and then took a while to apologise. and so it went on. so that relationship is absolutely crucial to ensure this government gets off to the right start. so a pre—meeting before the cabinet meeting i think makes a degree of sense. i don't know why she's she's left. she wouldn't tell us. she gave us a big grin. she wasn't certainly wasn't looking as grim as the clouds above me. so she looked quite jolly. also gone into number 11 downing stre

it's going to be angela rayner again . so this is angela rayner again.because for years he has been languishing in opposition and not doing the job of a real politician. >> now suddenly the real job is in front of him and he's sticking by the rules he had when he was when he was in opposition. >> you'd think to bring in all this change. he thought that he'd be working 24 hours a day. but, i mean, this is just a ridiculous argument because the idea that anybody of any political persuasion who gets a senior cabinet job doesn't take literally 2 or 3 hours a week to see their own family is absurd. >> yeah. you know, chief executives of the biggest companies in the world. but but this is what keir starmer said. >> but as british prime minister, you get to live with your family. >> he didn't say he was knock off at six. he said he takes a few hours on a friday night. sorry he did. >> he said you get to work from home. >> he said, i will not do a work related thing after 6 pm, but pretty well come off the other half. >> rishi could do it one at a time, he said

is angela rayner wrong to say the country needs more devolution? are a couple of absolute disastrous examples of it that are taking place right now. but first, former conservative mp miriam cates joins me live in the studio and straight to some breaking news. so dame priti patel will stand in the conservative leadership race after being urged to run by fellow mps . the telegraph is fellow mps. the telegraph is reporting that the former home secretary has decided that she will make an attempt to succeed rishi sunak and has already assembled a campaign team funded by high profile tory donors. earlier, it was reported that the shadow security minister, tom tugendhat, is also expected to throw his hat in the ring for the tory leadership within weeks. well, miriam, what do you think about priti patel? she got a chance. >> well, personally i like her very much and i'm in the odd position despite not being in parliament anymore, of actually knowing these people personally. the number of people who are going to put themselves forward for the for the leader

that's nonsense, says rayner.and this is the first of a series of stories where newspapers are spotting that the labour party are doing what they promised they'd do, and the newspapers are going, what? yeah, this was promised in all the debates in the manifesto and the debates in the manifesto and the use of green belt. maybe we'll come to that in a bit. but angela rayner has said that the new targets have been set, and if these targets aren't met by building on green brown sites, then you'd have to look at what areas have been defined as green belt and the uglier ones as having no useful eco components could then be built on. it's quite a long. it's a way down that flowchart, but the headunes that flowchart, but the headlines are putting it right at the top. green belt, and it shouldn't even be called green belt, should it? that was this notional idea of managing to keep urban areas from spreading . keep urban areas from spreading. doesn't mean it's green. and yet the word evokes this kind of what you're building
