Angela Rayner is the former deputy prime minister and deputy leader of the Labour Party. She has also served as shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, shadow Cabinet Office minister, shadow secretary for the future of work, shadow first secretary of state and deputy leader of the opposition. Rayner entered politics in 2014 when she was selected to contest Ashton-under-Lyne. She was elected for the seat in 2015 and was appointed as shadow minister for pensions by Jeremy Corbyn, then the Labour leader, the following year. Rayner stood successfully for the Labour deputy leadership in 2020. She and her ex-husband Mark Rayner separated in 2020 and she has three sons and a grandchild. She resigned as deputy prime minister after admitting she underpaid stamp duty on a £800,000 flat in Hove.
