Angela Rayner blasts Keir Starmer with 'last chance' warning and urges PM to allow Andy Burnham back into Parliament

Angela Rayner has blasted Keir Starmer with a "last chance" warning and has urged the Prime Minister to allow Andy Burnham back into Parliament.

The former Deputy PM took to X to speak out for the first time following Labour's disastrous results in the local elections on Thursday.


The Ashton-under-Lyne MP said: "Our party has suffered a historic defeat.

"Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more.



"What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance.

"The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people."

This is a breaking news story, more to follow.
