Rayner: Time is running out for Labour

MP WARNS HER PARTY NOW REPRESENTS THE 'ESTABLISHMENT' AND NOT WORKING PEOPLE

- By NINA LLOYD

ANGELA Rayner has said the survival of the Labour Party is at stake as she warned the government is 'running out of time' under Sir Keir Starmer.

In what could be viewed as an apparent challenge to the PM's leadership, the former deputy Prime Minister said the government cannot 'go through the motions in the face of decline.

During a speech at an event by campaign group Mainstream, the former deputy prime minister said the party had come to be seen to represent 'the Establishment, not working people' and called for a change of course.

Ms Rayner cited immigration reform as a key concern, suggesting that changes to indefinite leave to remain for people already living in Britain would be a 'breach of trust.
