Angela Rayner responds to the Government's ‘mini reshuffle'

Angela Rayner MP, Labour's Deputy Leader, commenting on the Government ignoring a parliamentary debate on the Conservatives' cost of living crisis in order to carry out a ‘mini reshuffle', said:

"Today, the Labour Party frontbench was in Parliament proposing measures to tackle food poverty caused by an inflation crisis created in Downing Street and supporting the mental health of our children and young people - vital topics affecting families across the country.

"What was Boris Johnson doing? Reshuffling the deckchairs when he's already hit an iceberg.

"Labour is committed to security, prosperity and respect for everyone. Boris Johnson is desperately trying to save his own skin."
