As the Labour Party goes from crisis to crisis and Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves - try to hang onto their jobs - one political figure comes out with an enhanced reputation. Step forward from the wings - Angela Rayner. So far she hasn’t put a foot wrong and her calm demeanour has exuded confidence and competence. These characteristics clearly lacking in Starmer and Reeves - as has been only too obvious over the last few days and weeks. Labour have never had a female leader - could she be it? If this was to happen, it would be an extraordinary - rags to riches parable. From a working class background - where her mother was illiterate and borderline intelligent - she has become deputy prime minister. From a personal point of view - I sincerely hope it happens as it would indicate - you mustn’t right anyone off - no matter where they might start from.
