Angela Rayner makes ginger joke at Labour local election launch

Angela Rayner made a joke about being ginger at Labour’s local elections launch on Thursday (28 March).

The Labour deputy leader was introducing Sir Keir Starmer, as she made comparisons between her and the party’s leader.

Ms Rayner said: “We grew up in different ends of the country and at different times, but we endured the same insecurities and hardships so many hardworking people face.

“I guess the one difference is I had to endure it as a ginger, so I have got one up there.”
