After calling for tax increases, Angela Rayner’s popularity among Labour members has skyrocketed.
The leap in favourability for the Deputy Prime Minister followed a leaked memo in which she called on Rachel Reeves to raise £3 billion to £4 billion a year from the rich.
She earned a huge 71-point approval rating, up from 46 points, on LabourList’s Cabinet league table, which ranks ministers as determined by Labour members.
But the Chancellor is on minus 28, lower than Sir Keir Starmer on minus seven, in the Survation poll.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband heads the rankings with 74 points, according to the 1,304 people questioned whether they had a favourable view of ministers.
Ms Rayner also came second on a list of possible prime ministers should Sir Keir not fight the next general election, winning the support of 47 per cent.
Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is the favourite with support from 57 per cent of activists while Health Secretary Wes Streeting comes third with 21 per cent.
Tom Belger, editor of LabourList, said: ‘Many members may be restless but the notable upward trend for most Cabinet members gives ministers rare good news.’
Members also want to see the government reverse its welfare changes and extend its winter fuel cutbacks, according to the polls.
Some 59 per cent said Labour should reverse plans to reform disability-related benefits and 80 per cent want more pensioners eligible for the energy payments.
She will never see a surge in popularity with the UK voters – that is the reality!
Her popularity has surged among Labour members, who are a bunch of champagne socialists who have never had a real job and have never had to live in the real world. However, if you tax the rich they will just leave the UK, but then if they leave they were not that patriotic in the first place, and thus traitors to their country.
Angela Rayner’s working-class upbringing does not imply that she is sympathetic to the issues that regular people face. She has been a wealthy politician for many years, and it is obvious that she has forgotten her working-class upbringing.
There is very little chance that Angela Rayner will become prime minister even if Keir Starmer were to quit, and the reason is Labour will not win the next election.
Popular my foot, she’s about as popular as stepping in something nasty on the pavement.
Those who have worked hard and made sacrifices to support themselves and their families will be clobbered, not the privileged few.
A few more votes may seem like a huge boost when you have almost little support or popularity, but Angela Raynor is widely hated.
She needs to define wealthy. In my eyes she is wealthy and she still owes the taxpayers’ for her council house that she bought cheap and made a nice profit on.
Why bother to work at all because the government will steal your money regardless?
In the last 30 years, I have witnessed our government waste our hard-earned money on a massive scale. Why should we have what we have worked so hard for watch it being squandered and frittered away?
Perhaps we should make a stand and sit on our hands and let the state feed, clothe and house us. Let them furnish our accommodation and give us all the mod cons. They do it for migrants, so why not us? Our government are mug enough to finance their lifestyle, now they should finance UK natives, but they won’t because they want to destroy the little people who have toiled hard – our government are spiteful critters.
She will never be popular with the masses – she is a stooge and Labour minion and she needs to be dumped on the scrap heap with the rest of the other minions.
