Angela Rayner issues 'last chance' warning to Starmer and backs Burnham's return
Rayner said Labour must change course fast to win back working people after defeats, warning the party risks becoming one for the well-off.
- On Sunday, former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner urged Labour to readmit Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, calling the earlier block a "mistake" following poor election results across England, Wales, and Scotland.
- Following historic local election defeats, Rayner warned the party is "in danger of becoming a party of the well-off," while critics described Prime Minister Keir Starmer's 10-year leadership goal as "the delusional phase."

- Labour now faces what Rayner described as "our last chance" to change direction, as the party must address the cost of living crisis and internal divisions before the Prime Minister's expected speech on Monday.
