Nestled among Michael Foot’s “donkey jacket”, an empty can of BrewDog Barnard Castle Eye Test beer and a pike from Peterloo, there sits a new exhibit at the People’s History Museum in Manchester: the jacket Angela Rayner wore when she first stood in at prime minister’s questions against Boris Johnson.
The now deputy prime minister donated the powder-blue Marks & Spencer fitted knit jacket to the museum, where it is displayed in a glass case alongside a range of other Labour party memorabilia, this summer.
