Labour MP Rayner lands reshuffle role

Date published: 08 January 2016


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.
