September 5th, 2024

Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rayner, has spoken to ITV News following some criticism of her partying in Ibiza.

Ms Rayner has said that she "won't apologise for occasionally taking a day off".

Well, I say that people on holiday are on holiday, I had a couple of days, but I also say, you know, I take my job incredibly seriously, and I carry that job out. I deliver on what I say I'm gonna do.

In fact I'm always concerned to make sure that I prove my worth because people often criticise my background and say, well, is she qualified to do the job?

Well, I know that the people of this country deserve better, and I'll fight for them every single day. But I also know that people deserve to have downtime as well, and I won't apologise for occasionally, I mean, I can apologise for my dance moves, they're not to everyone's taste, but I do take the occasional day off.
