Labour’s defence policy was mired in confusion last night after Angela Rayner claimed she had not changed her mind on opposing the UK’s nuclear deterrent.

The party’s deputy leader is attempting to move on from the months-long row over her past living arrangements.

The Labour deputy leader lashed out as she faced jibes from Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden and other Tory MPs in the Commons, as they stood in for Mr Sunak and Sir Keir Starmer.

Angela Rayner will face the glare of Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday. A diary clash for Rishi Sunak means that his deputy, Oliver Dowden , will step into the PM’s shoes.

Keir Starmer opened hostilities at PMQs by jibing at Liz Truss ‘s new book, saying her tax-cutting mini-Budget had caused ‘misery for millions’.
