Labour MP Rayner lands reshuffle role

Angela Rayner MP

FAILSWORTH MP Angela Rayner has joined Labour’s work and pensions team as part of party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s reshuffle.

Mr Corbyn completed his widely-reported front bench reshuffle by appointing MPs to roles outside the shadow cabinet following a spate of resignations.

Ms Rayner is one of a trio of female MPs first elected to Parliament in last year’s general election to have been promoted. She joins the work and pensions team.
