Political commentator Oscar Reddrop highlights Angela Rayner's potential ambitions amid troubling polling for Labour's leadership. A leaked memo suggesting tax increases of £4 billion has intensified discussions around Rachel Reeves' effectiveness as Chancellor. Reddrop suggests Rayner is strategically positioning herself for a leadership bid, capitalizing on vulnerabilities within the party's current structure. He argues that her actions represent a challenge to the established norms in Labour and points to a growing rift concerning economic policy that could manifest in future power struggles within the party.
The political intrigue is Angela Rayner declaring open warfare on the Number 10, Number 11 orthodoxy. Not only is she showing the Labour left there is another way, she is also honing in on the political capital drain on Number 10 which is Rachel Reeves in Number 11.
100%. She is identifying that Rachel Reeves is a real weakness for this Government. The Number 10 and Number 11 relationship when times are tough can get really fraught.
