Angela Rayner MP

At Lunch With...

Available for over a year

She has had a remarkable political ascent; elected an MP in 2015 Angela Rayner is now shadow education secretary. Becky Milligan went to her constituency in Ashton-under-Lyne for the latest installment of her ‘At Lunch With’ series. The Labour MP discusses life growing up on a council estate, how being a carer changed her from being a rebel to respecting those in authority and how being told she could be a possible leader of the Labour Party feels "ridiculous... for now, but maybe one day".
