Angela Rayner jokes as she’s only one to turn up to Commons debate in Xmas jumper

"I wanted to spread the message that Gingers are for life not just for Christmas, with my honourable friend opposite of course"

Angela Rayner sported a jumper with the words ‘gingers are for life not just for Christmas’ during a Commons debate today.

The second Thursday in December is conventionally reserved for Save the Children’s annual Christmas jumper day, which aims to make the world ‘better with a sweater’.

But it seems all the other MPs didn’t get the memo.

Rayner opened questioning after a rapturous day in parliament on Wednesday in which she called on the government to reveal “the truth” over “dodgy lobbying” linked to the award of Covid equipment contracts.

The deputy Labour leader outlined plans to force the government to release records of a £200 million contract awarded to PPE Medpro, which is linked to Baroness Mone – who has now stepped back “to clear her name”.

She said: “This is a plea for answers, a plea for clarity, a plea for the truth. And the choice that the House makes today is simple too.

“Our demand is clear. End the cover up and begin the clean up.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
