Life and career
Educated at Avondale School, Stockport,[4] Angela Rayner (née Bowen) worked for Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council as a care worker before being elected as a UNISON union representative.[5]
After serving as Convenor of UNISON North West, Rayner was selected as the Labour candidate for Ashton-under-Lyne at the 2015 general election, which she contested successfully by increasing Labour's majority and share of the vote in the constituency.[6] She delivered her maiden speech in the House of Commons on 3 June 2015. Promoted to shadow whip's office and then to her current position of shadow pensions minister.
The Guardian featured Rayner at length in 2012 by way of example of a trade union officer's working life,[7] when she was UNISON Branch Secretary on Stockport Council.[8]
She has three sons, the first of whom was born when she was aged 16:[9] Charlie was born very prematurely at 23 weeks and she uses the care he received as a mark of the importance of the National Health Service and educational policy. [10]
She lives in Ashton-under-Lyne with her family, including two sons by her husband,[citation needed] Mark Rayner, also a UNISON official.[11]
