Overview
- Reports say Angela Rayner is preparing a podcast called Beyond the Bubble with a pilot episode on housing featuring former Conservative cabinet minister Michael Gove.
- The pilot is reported to be produced by Global, which owns LBC, and there is no commission for a series or a launch date yet.
- Keir Starmer said she has a lot to offer and stated he expects her to play a leading role in his government.
- She resigned as deputy prime minister after underpaying stamp duty and is waiting for an HMRC report into about £30,000 before a return to frontline politics is likely.
- Coverage links the podcast and her recent attack on Labour’s immigration plans to leadership speculation as difficult local election results are widely forecast.
