Politics latest: Tory levelling up policies are a 'sham and a scam', Labour's Angela Rayner to warn
Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner is due to set out Labour's plans on workers' and union rights at the TUC conference in Liverpool as the party sets out its stall ahead of a general election, expected next year.
The deputy Labour leader, who was appointed the new shadow levelling up, housing and communities secretary in a reshuffle last week, will address the Trades Union Congress (TUC) in Liverpool on Tuesday.
In a nod to her new role, and long-standing affiliation with trade unions, she will draw on her own past in order to show "the real-world link between levelling up and unionised jobs".
It takes a certain kind of person to devote themselves to the promotion of ideas which don't mean anything. As shadow levelling up, housing and communities secretary, Ms Rayner has two meaningless ideas in one title - "levelling up" and "communities secretary".
I don't think she cares, it's just words. She's amusing herself and having a fine old time spraying the words around. Not very well, but who cares?

You might think it is just word games.
I certainly think it is just word games.
But there are people who really believe this guff and get all hurty when disappointed. Same with other people who are unthinkingly followers of Conservatism, Republicanism or Democratism, and so on. Don't get me started on religions.
The grim realisation is that politicians can say *anything* and then promptly discard what they have said for the next headline opportunity.
It has been said that no matter who you vote for the Government always get in. True, that.
Don't vote, it only encourages them. Someone said.
“It takes a certain kind of person to devote themselves to the promotion of ideas which don't mean anything.”
Rayner’s the poster girl for it.
"the real-world link between levelling up and unionised jobs".
Blimey! Are the unions going to level up the pensioners on fixed incomes? Are the train drivers in the south going to hold back so their poorer northern colleagues can catch up?
DJ - "there are people who really believe this guff and get all hurty when disappointed."
Yes there are and it's a social minefield, which is a pity because the blanket dishonesty of the political class needs to be more prominent.
Tammly - vote for outsiders seems to be the only worthwhile option.
James - maybe that's where she is most useful, the poster girl for political drivel.
Sam - is British Leyland about to rise up from the dead?
