Angela Rayner says the Labour government is “deeply unpopular,” while urging ministers to stick to the promises made during the election campaign. In her comments, she acknowledges that mistakes have been made, pointing in particular to changes to the Winter Fuel Payment. Rayner says cuts were introduced that later had to be reversed, indicating that the policy direction required adjustment after implementation. She also calls for remaining commitments to be delivered, including an increase to the minimum wage for workers under 21. The remarks focus on both public support and the government’s record on specific measures, with Rayner framing the need for reversals and course correction as part of maintaining faith in announced plans. The statements reflect internal recognition of challenges in public opinion while reinforcing ongoing policy priorities, including wage-related policy for younger workers.
