Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner has revealed on a podcast the harrowing moment she realised the Queen was dying. The Metro reports that she understood the gravity of the situation as soon as she read the message on the note given to her in the House of Commons.
In an interview with Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel, on The News Agents podcast, she revealed that the note was "simple" and stated: "The Queen is unwell and Keir needs to leave the chamber as soon as possible to be briefed."
She added: "You don’t get a note saying the Queen is unwell if she just has a cough or cold, so I felt the gravity of it."
