Angela Rayner, the Labour Member of Parliament for
Ashton-under-Lyne, Droylsden, and Failsworth, says that she's fought for the
interests of working people all her life. Yet, during a recent BBC Breakfast
interview, she was repeatedly asked if the Labour Party would guarantee the
'triple-lock' on state pensions if they take power at the next general
election.
Although Labour pledged to keep the triple-lock in 2019,
Rayner wouldn't give a guarantee and evaded the question. She told the BBC that
Labour wouldn't make unfunded spending commitments as the country is in "a very different place" now.
Since 2020, Angela Rayner has been the Deputy Leader of the
Labour Party and she describes herself has being on the "soft left."
She's also the Labour shadow minister for "levelling up."
