While she acknowledged that Labour's popularity has been plummeting in the polls since last July's election, Ms Rayner insisted that the party could turn it around by the end of this Parliament.
Angela Rayner yesterday admitted that voters are right to feel 'frustrated' with Labour 's record in Government.
While she acknowledged that Labour's popularity has been plummeting in the polls since last July's election, she insisted that the party could turn it around by the end of this Parliament because Sir Keir Starmer is 'his own worst critic' and will carry on 'driving to win for the people'. Defending Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, whose personal popularity rating has also plummeted, she added: 'He won't do what he thinks is popular. What he wants to do is deliver.'In my understanding of how he works, and my personal experience with him, is he will be feeling harder, if he doesn't meet the target that he sets himself to make people better off, than anything any poll could tell him, or any election result.
Referring to Get In, the book by Sunday Times journalists Gabriel Pogrund and Patrick Maguire, she added: 'There's lots of things that were said in that book that I don't recognise to be honest, and it's tittle tattle...we all have frustrations when we're at work sometimes and I'm sure people have been frustrated with me at work sometimes.
Labour's vote share has plummeted in a series of polls since last July's election, along with Sir Keir's personal popularity.
