Angela Rayner said Labour candidate Michael Shanks is right to raise his concerns about the party’s refusal to scrap the two-child cap on tax credits.
Asked if Shanks would be suspended if he was to vote against the party line, she said: “That’s not how we work in the Labour Party. If back bench MPs vote against the whip and they do, do that from time to time.“He’s right to raise issues, the Labour Party raises issues all the time, I raise issues but we have a collective responsibility as a shadow cabinet.
“We will tackle it. It will be our number one priority but we are not going to be able to do everything immediately but we will be striving to making those achievements.”
