How Rayner, Streeting and Burnham weakened PM in 12 hours of political drama

On Wednesday, while Sir Keir Starmer watched the King read the government's plan, his main rivals within Labour, Andy Burnham, Wes Streeting, and Angela Rayner, were preparing their next moves. Rayner was relieved to learn she had been cleared by HMRC, although she settled £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty. The next day, she gave two interviews, published at 06:00, to maximize the impact of her message without informing the Prime Minister.
