Angela Rayner
Labour’s deputy leader has spoken about the chilling moment she saw a note saying that the Queen’s health was failing – and that Keir Starmer needed to leave the chamber to be briefed.
Angela Rayner – who said her family are “big royalists” – said she was thinking “oh my God, this is going to change everything” when frontbenchers were handed the message.
She said the note was “in plain English” and made clear the gravity of the situation.
She told The News Agents podcast, presented by Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel: “I read between the lines on that because you don’t get a note saying the Queen’s unwell if she’s got a bit of a cough and cold.”
