Angela Rayner has been given her role in Keir Starmer's new cabinet. Here's what you need to know about her - from early life and career in politics to the abuse and controversy she has faced.
Angela Rayner has been appointed Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in Keir Starmer's cabinet - she also becomes deputy prime minister. 'There is a sense Angela Rayner will be prepared to use her political clout and her political talents to make sure she can shape this government in the way she wants,' our deputy political editor Sam Coates says.
'Principles would not have fed me' Ms Rayner is known for being on the left of the Labour Party and has described herself as a socialist 'but not a Corbynite'. But she has also defended compromises she has made with colleagues in the shadow cabinet, saying she will not let her principles 'block' her party from getting elected. Speaking to the Beth Rigby Interviews programme on Sky News, she said it was 'not about getting rid of my principles'.
