About our Angela Rayner news

Latest news on Angela Rayner, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government in Andy Burnham's government.

Angela Rayner is a Labour politician and the Member of Parliament for Ashton-under-Lyne, reappointed Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government as part of a cabinet reshuffle. The brief covers housing and planning, local government, devolution, and homelessness policy.

Rayner returns to a department she previously led, taking on responsibility for house buying reforms, council reorganisation proposals, and the government's wider devolution agenda. Our feed tracks her statements, departmental announcements, and reaction to housing and planning policy from across the sector.

One of the most recognisable figures in the Labour Party, Rayner has built a reputation over two decades for a direct communication style and a background rooted in local government and trade unionism. Her return to a senior cabinet role has been closely watched by commentators tracking the balance of the party's different traditions.

First elected to Parliament in 2015, Rayner has held a series of senior roles including Deputy Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Education Secretary, alongside serving as Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.
