Angela Rayner says

Angela Rayner said that she “never” wants to become Prime Minister or leader of the Labor party after a leaked memo triggered an internal party series.

The deputy prime minister was asked to exclude the top job after a memo that she had sent to Rachel Reeves to suggest that tax increases were passed on to the press.

Rayner proposed to change the lifelong allowance for the service life and the change in dividend taxes in a memo to the Chancellor with ideas for increasing the income, according to the telegraph, in which a copy of the document increases.

The DPM said that it was “absolutely not” behind a poured memo and was in the future when he became Prime Minister on Sunday morning with Trevor Phillips on Sky News.

Rayner was asked to dispel suggestions that she may be behind the leak of the memos in order to expand support for a future Labor guide.

She replied: “Yes, absolutely not, and I don't want to be the leader of the Labor Party.”

She added to it, added: “No, I am very happy and honored to be deputy prime minister of this country, and I have a lot in my dream to prove that I can do the job I do and provide the milestones for people in this country.

“This is what I am interested in.”

Asked to never say the word, and replied: “Never.”

Later Rayner performed the BBC with Laura Kuensberg on Sunday and had nothing to do with the memo published in public.

“I don't lick. I think leaks are very harmful. I am 100% behind our cabinet and the decisions we make together,” she said.

The BBC also announced the DPM that there was no “significant different opinion in the government”.

She added: “The government has discussions. We are doing this privately. So I will not comment on memos or documents that have been spread, but I can tell you that the government is absolutely 100% behind our chancellor and make the collective decisions as a cabinet.”

An investigation is “in motion”, as the memo was leaked, she also suggested.

When asked by Sky News, if a probe was started, Rayner said: “I think it's one in progress, and that's rightly because leaks are very harmful.

“It is really harmful because we have many sensitive conversations in the round, and then we make a collective decision.”
