Political commentator Oscar Reddrop has said the Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner can see that the Chancellor is a “real weakness” for the Labour government.
Rayner is embroiled in an argument over a leaked memo which calls for Rachel Reeves to increase taxes before the Spring Statement.
The Dily Telegraph reported that the leaked memo seems to have called on Reeves to raise taxes by £ billion to £4 billion a year.
Speaking to GB News Reddrop believes that Rayner is positioning herself to become the next Labour Prime Minister as Sir Keir Starmer is seeing shocking polling results less than a year at the helm.
Reddrop told the Peoples channel, “The political intrigue is Angela Rayner declaring open warfare on the Number 10, Number 11 orthodoxy.
“Not only is she showing the Labour left there is another way, she is also honing in on the political capital drain on Number 10 which is Rachel Reeves in Number 11.”
He was asked if Rayner will go for the job of Prime Minister, Reddrop said, “100%. She is identifying that Rachel Reeves is a real weakness for this Government.
“The Number 10 and Number 11 relationship when times are tough can get really fraught.
“I think Keir Starmer will be banging his desk in frustration at the trouble Rachel Reeves is causing this Government.
“What Rayner is doing is politically smart.”
