Angela Rayner’s mother called her during a televised interview to praise her on her speech at the Labour Party’s convention in Liverpool.
The 43-year-old deputy leader of the Labour Party was filming a segment for Channel 4 News when her phone rang. Since it was rare for her to call, Ms Rayner decided she had to take the call when she realised it was her mother, Lynn Bowen, as she feared something might be awry.
