Angela Rayner's main character energy

The State of It

About this episode

Angela Rayner turned down a chance to appear on I'm a Celebrity because she wasn't done with politics. Will she return to cabinet or make a bid for the leadership herself? Patrick has been told what she really thinks of the idea of a pact with Wes Streeting.

Also, Keir Starmer's plan for turning things around – and the bear traps on the path ahead.
