Angela’s life embodies the Labour movement.
She has made monumental changes for working people, from strengthening workers’ rights to building council housing. This work needs to continue.
We were founded to represent working people, that is what our Labour Party must do.

I’m incredibly sad to see my friend Angela Rayner leave government.
We can’t now risk losing touch with who we are and who our party was founded to serve.
Whatever comes next, the Labour Party must speak to, deliver for and unite the country.
That’s what people asked us to do last year.

So incredibly proud of my boss @sarahowen.org.uk. She has spent years of her career (long before Parliament) campaigning to have miscarriage recognised as a bereavement in the workplace. This is how you live through pain and use it to bring healing for others. ❤️🩹
NEW: Minister Justin Madders confirms the government will add bereavement leave for those who have experienced miscarriage to the Employment Rights Bill in the Lords, after @sarahowen.org.uk's campaign. Thank you Sarah for your persistence and perseverance on this, it will mean so much to so many ❤️🌈

Just taking a moment to think about how normal it is now for women to have a job that is talking, writing, or presenting on football.
It was inconceivable not that long ago. There is much progress still to make, but I'm proud of all of them 💪⚽️

I honestly think urban meadows are one of the best things to happen - parks and even little patches of wild flowers are such an improvement
“By sowing flower meadows, we quickly create colourful habitats that are eagerly visited by city inhabitants”
Great to see. The UK’s nature recovery plans shouldn’t just be seen to be about the countryside but about how we make our urban areas more nature rich too

Patches of wildflowers in cities can be just as good for insects as natural meadows – study
Researchers found no difference in the diversity of species in urban meadows compared with those in rural settings

Honestly the most DQ'ing thing I've seen about Harris is how she's stayed in dignified silence as everyone trashes her campaign. She stepped up at short notice when the party needed her, saved scores if not hundreds of down ballot colleagues who would have gone down with Biden & is getting no thanks
"While pundits have busied themselves over the past 10 days nitpicking Kamala Harris’s campaign, one thing is abundantly clear: She was held to the highest standards of leadership while Trump was held to no standard at all."
Kamala Harris’s hidden barrier
Her rise and fall illustrates the Glass Cliff.
