Angela Rayner spotted enjoying herself at Parklife festival as Lewis Capaldi takes to the stage

Stockport's own Angela Rayner was among those enjoying the festivities at Parklife festival at Heaton Park on Sunday evening. The deputy leader could be seen side of stage as singer Lewis Capaldi entertained festival goers on the Parklife Stage.

The deputy Labour leader looked happy and relaxed as the Scotsman belted out a number of fan favourites including Before You Go and Someone You Loved. Capaldi took the 7pm slot ahead of American rappers Tyler, The Creator and Megan Thee Stallion on the final night of Parklife 2022.

The Ashton-under-Lyne MP was all smiles on the sidelines of the Parklife Stage, which has seen some stand-out performances across the weekend. On Saturday, fans packed out Heaton Park to watch stars such as Headie One, Loyle Carner, and the US rapper 50 Cent - the latter's performance going down a treat with festival goers.

On Sunday, fans were delighted by performances from Raye and Arlo Parks, the latter appearing against a backdrop of sunflowers, and bringing some much needed sunshine to proceedings after the heavens opened.

Earlier today it was reported that Rayner described the Prime Minister as 'terminally out-of-touch' after it was reported he used taxpayers' money to fly to Blackpool in a private jet. The Mirror reported that the Prime Minister snubbed a three-hour train for the visit instead opting for his government plane.

Rayner condemned Boris Johnson’s Blackpool trip by saying: “While a Tory Minister was insulting Blackpool as “godawful”, Boris Johnson was jetting in on taxpayers’ money, skipping the train and dodging voters during a botched relaunch of his doomed premiership.

“This is a terminally out-of-touch Prime Minister who behaves like he’s on another planet and forces taxpayers to pay their hard-earned money for his privilege, all while the cost of living crisis bites.”
