Angela Rayner

The Deputy Leader of the Labour party was brought up by a parent
who could not read or write. After getting pregnant and leaving
school aged 16, Angela Rayner became a home carer where she found
her feet as a union representative, eventually rising to be
Unison’s most senior official in the North West. Now she’s taking
on the government over workers’ rights and cronyism; her battles no
longer fought on the estate she grew up on, but from across the
despatch box.
