Rayner, who is likely to have the role of strengthening workers’ rights in a Starmer government, was a teenage mum during the Brown and Tony Blair years.

Gordon Brown says a Keir Starmer Labour government would be a “pioneer” for slashing child poverty rates across the UK. The former prime minister said he believed a Labour win next week will be a “landmark” for struggling kids and their families.

She said: “My mum was ­illiterate and had mental health problems, and I didn’t know how to be a mum. Sure Start was incredible. I went on a parenting course and learned for the first time that the way I parented my son wasn’t bringing out the best in him. That has ­transformed my life and my son’s life because the relationship I have with him is incredible.”

“The humiliation, the fear, the feeling of failure, that’s what the Tories have given working people today. That’s what I find unforgivable.” “You’ve got parents having to choose between heating, eating and keeping their ­children clean. And you have got children going to school hungry. That should not be happening in Britain in 2024.
