Fans of ITV<\/a> daytime programme Lorraine<\/a> were switching off in droves as deputy prime minister Angela Rayner<\/a> appeared on-screen after Keir Starmer<\/a>\u2019s \u201cembarrassment\u201d last night (July 1). The Labour PM was forced to climb down from his previous stance on welfare to get the bill through the first Commons vote, dropping disability benefits cuts in the wake of a party rebellion.<\/p>\n

Now Rayner has appeared on Lorraine Kelly\u2019s morning show to discuss the vote \u2013 but fans weren\u2019t impressed. They quickly turned to X to tweet their discomfort, with one writing: \u201cTurning the channel over #Lorraine!\u201d as another echoed: \u201cDear God #Lorraine, one to miss I think!\u201d<\/p>\n

Somebody else posted: \u201cNah\u2026 off button,\u201d at seeing who the guest was, while somebody else joked: \u201cWell this is certainly going to be an in-depth political interview with Angela Rayner<\/a>!\u201d<\/p>\n

Another viewer grumbled: \u201cWhat a dreadful sycophantic interview of Angela Rayner<\/a>.\u201d While somebody else tweeted: \u201cJust tuned in for the first time in ages\u2026 f***ing hell couldn\u2019t press that button to turn over quick enough!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the interview, Lorraine asked Rayner if she wants to step into the prime minister’s shoes should Starmer step back, probing: “A lot of people have said that you are there waiting to jump into the job. You\u2019re deputy prime minister \u2013 if he does go, then inevitably you would do, but when you\u2019re asked that question, is it something you want to do, at some point\u2026 what would you say?”<\/p>\n

Rayner responded: “No. I\u2019m very interested in delivering for the people of this country. To be elected as an MP from my background was incredible. And when I first went into Parliament, I thought, \u2018This is Hogwarts. This is an incredible place, I\u2019ve never been anywhere like it\u2019. It was like going in a church, it was an incredible building.<\/p>\n

“But having that opportunity to serve my community that have raised me, looked after me, given me opportunities\u2026 to be deputy prime minister of this country has got to count for something. Not a title, but what are you going to give back to your community?<\/p>\n

“And that\u2019s why I\u2019m so passionate about council houses, making sure we\u2019ve got good, strong employment rights and that we\u2019re delivering for working people in this country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fans of ITV daytime programme Lorraine were switching off in droves as deputy prime minister Angela Rayner appeared…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":231611,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3937],"tags":[9311,90932,90931,77,208,807,8414,528,25517,90930,23384,90929,12187,382,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-231610","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-angela-rayner","9":"tag-deputy-pm","10":"tag-deputy-prime-minister","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-itv","13":"tag-keir-starmer","14":"tag-labour","15":"tag-labour-party","16":"tag-lorraine","17":"tag-lorraine-angela-rayner","18":"tag-lorraine-kelly","19":"tag-lorraine-switch-off","20":"tag-pm","21":"tag-tv","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114782868910746720","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=231610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/231610\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/231611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=231610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=231610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=231610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
