Angela Rayner has launched her pitch to lead Andy Burnham’s devolution revolution, arguing we "need to change politics” and "give people back control so we can fix the economy”.
In her first major speech since Sir Keir Starmer announced his resignation, Labour’s former deputy leader – who is expected to return to government when Andy Burnham takes over as prime minister – argued that “too many decisions affecting the many are made by too few”, accusing “Whitehall empires” of “hoarding their own power”.
