'Battle of the gingers': Angela Rayner jokes with Oliver Dowden during PMQs

Angela Rayner joked that she will miss the 'battle of the gingers' today as she clashed with Oliver Dowden at deputy PMQs. The pair bantered after Sir Oliver pointed out it would be their last clash before he stands aside when a new Tory leader is installed. Ms Rayner - filling in for Keir Starmer while he is at the Commonwealth summit in Samoa - even sparked laughter by making heart shapes at her opposite number. But they did not leave politics entirely to one side, as she mocked him for having pushed for the disastrous early election. Meanwhile, Sir Oliver grilled Ms Rayner on her definition of a 'working person' - with Labour having promised to protect them from eye-watering tax rises in the Budget next week.
