How Angela Rayner has become the most influential figure in Starmer's government
As Keir Starmer gathered his top ministers for a special away day in Chequers for a team-building reset on Friday, one figure arrived in a much more powerful position than she was in just two weeks ago. It is now widely recognised by Labour MPs, across the different wings of the party, that deputy prime minister Angela Rayner 's influence in this government is greater than almost anybody else. Certainly more than the wounded chancellor Rachel Reeves, who has been beset by economic woes, and even more than health secretary Wes Streeting who, like Rayner, has been tipped as a future contender for the leadership. She was, though, completely unprepared for the shot fired by the Unite union, after its general secretary announced it had suspended her membership for failing to resolve the Birmingham refuse collectors dispute. But while a trade union that looks set to peel off and back Jeremy Corbyn's new party gave her a headache, Ms Rayner nevertheless is enjoying a surge in influence – for now. Welfare rebellion The biggest reason for her rise is the result of the welfare rebellion just over a week ago. As one party whip put it: 'There's nobody more powerful in the government than Angela at the moment. 'She was the one who brokered the deal with Labour rebels, she was the one who talked people off the ledge from voting against the government.' As another ally pointed out that she did not even want the disability cuts and had already sent a leaked memo to Ms Reeves suggesting wealth taxes instead of austerity. Now, after last Wednesday's PMQs, it seems like the government has no option but to raise taxes. But the turnaround for Ms Rayner actually started with her holdout in the spending review, where she got a £39bn for housing and more than expected for local government. A spot of union bother Some may see the recent decision by Unite the union to suspend her membership (even though she left the union in April) as a problem. But behind the scenes it has confused people on the left and other unions, who believe Ms Rayner has turned Starmer's government leftward on disability benefits and steering through the bill on workers' rights. As a TUC source noted: 'The main metric we are judging this government by is the workers' rights legislation and that is on course.' Unite took action because of her position on the Birmingham bins strike. But an ally of Ms Rayner said: 'It's wild! They know full well that Angela cannot directly intervene in the way that they say, and to attack one of the few remaining cabinet members who is standing up for workers rights and real labour values is simply mad.' However, it remains to be seen if the escalating clash with Unite will halt Ms Rayner's rise. A rival court to Downing Street How the tide can turn. Just over a month ago, there was talk about Ms Rayner being demoted and losing the housing part of her portfolio. Now there is speculation in Westminster that the deputy prime minister could soon have her own official office, with its own staff and comms team. There is some scepticism, especially over what it would mean for Sir Keir himself and his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney. As one ally of Ms Rayner noted: 'Morgan will hate the idea and do everything he can to stop it. An Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) would create a rival court, an alternative centre of government.' The last person to have an ODPM was John Prescott under Tony Blair, but unlike Ms Rayner, Prescott was never seen as a candidate to replace Sir Tony. All about the leadership There is still a lot of fevered speculation about whether Sir Keir can survive as prime minister. The image of his chancellor in tears while he failed to guarantee her future this month became the image of a government spiralling out of control after just a month. There are many waiting to see the results of the elections in Scotland, Wales and English councils next May to decide whether to launch a putsch. If he is forced out, Ms Rayner is now the clear favourite to take over, despite her protestations that she does not want the job. Beware the 'Rayner's rise' trap While Ms Rayner is on top at the moment, there is some speculation that the spending review with Ms Reeves has laid a trap for her much more problematic than the issues with Unite. In getting her cash for local government and housing it appears that the deputy prime minister has signed up to council tax rises of 5 per cent. At the housing and local government select committee hearing this week in the Commons she denied that the increase was 'baked in', but MPs from her own party and the opposition were not convinced at all. The Independent has been told that already the term 'Rayner's rise' is being used for hefty council tax increases not seen since the Blair era two decades ago. Back in the Blair government it was Prescott and his Office of the Deputy PM which took the brunt of the anger over rising bills - it will be the same for Ms Rayner. Among her allies there is genuine concern that Ms Rayner's opponents inside and outside the party are 'preparing to weaponise' it as an issue when council tax bills land at the end of the year. There are fears that it will not take much to turn the public against her.

The worklessness crisis ravaging Corbyn's North London enclave
Often lauded as one of London's most middle-class hubs, Islington seems an unlikely place for high unemployment. Yet the numbers don't lie. According to a new report, young people in the borough are more likely to be unemployed or out of education than almost all other parts of the country. In fact, only four other local authorities have a higher likelihood of young people becoming Neet (not in education, employment nor training). That is despite Islington boasting the ninth-highest level of household income in the UK at £38,638, well ahead of the national average of £21,259, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). This disparity is encapsulated by Islington having the second-highest number of pupils on school meals in England, demonstrating the stark divide between Islington's rich and poor. This wealth gap has been cited as one of the drivers for soaring worklessness in the borough, which has ballooned post-Covid. 'You have these pockets of extreme wealth next to these pockets of relatively severe deprivation,' says Ben Gadsby, the head of policy and research at the charity Impetus. 'There will definitely be some bits of Islington that will be noticeably more deprived than people are expecting.' Barriers to work Cavan is just one of many young people in the borough struggling to find work. After leaving school, he had hoped to land a job in retail and even applied to the Army – but he remains unemployed. To boost his chances of employment, Cavan recently enrolled in Spear Islington, a six-week scheme for 16 to 24-year-olds aimed at getting them into work, training or education. The Spear programme, led by employment charity Resurgo, was found to have reduced a young person's likelihood of being Neet by 17pc, offering coaching and interview advice. However, initiatives such as Spear are few and far between in Islington, as well as in areas nearby. Ayesha Baloch, a senior policy adviser at Impetus, says there is a wide range of barriers that prevent young people from finding employment. One such obstacle is a lack of awareness of what's out there, she says, particularly for poorer households. 'Part of the reason that work experience, internships and representation is so important is because it gives young people the opportunity to see someone like them working in sectors that they maybe wouldn't have heard of,' says Baloch. 'You have some communities where they're predominantly working in hospitality or they run restaurants so they maybe wouldn't have as much of a concept of working in a bank.' Ironically, Islington's worklessness crisis has emerged despite Jeremy Corbyn, the constituency's MP, previously winning over young workers by championing radical Left-wing policies. During his time as Labour leader, he vowed to abolish university tuition fees and introduce a £10 minimum wage for under-18s. However, since splitting from his former party and serving Islington North as an independent, Corbyn has increasingly focused on more geopolitical issues such as the Israel-Gaza conflict. Meanwhile, thousands of young people in his constituency struggle to find work, like many others elsewhere in the country. There are 923,000 16 to 24-year-olds classed as Neet in the UK, according to the ONS, up from 793,000 in 2020. As well as Islington, other local authorities affected by the crisis include Middlesbrough, Knowsley, Nottingham and Hartlepool. Soaring Neet figures have prompted charities to take action. Gadsby says that reducing the rate of Neets is 'about understanding different people's needs and a programme that works for them'. 'Different young people are going to have different challenges, which I think is part of the reason this has been a perennial problem, because there probably isn't a simple one-size-fits-all scheme that solves everything,' he says. Rise in mental health complaints Another barrier facing young people is a lack of preparation. A recent report from IPPR found that fewer than half of young people (47pc) felt ready for work after education. Mangala Nanda, chief learning officer at Generation, a charity that runs job-specific boot camps to get people into work, says 'the link between education and employment is not strong enough'. 'We see that there are lots of people who go into university, they've taken on all of that debt, and then six months go by, one year goes by, two years go by – and they've not managed to get a job,' she says. Resurgo is one of the charities attempting to help Neets in Islington, working with youngsters who face barriers such as poor qualifications, a family history of unemployment or special educational needs. Pete Bacon, the deputy chief executive of the group, said a sharp rise in mental health complaints post-Covid has also fuelled unemployment. 'The number of young people we enrol who are now reporting mental health issues of some type feels really significant,' he says. 'The amount of young people we now speak to who, day to day, are just not leaving their house, sometimes, no exaggeration, for years they won't have actually left their building'. One of Resurgo's most successful offerings is the Spear programme. At Spear Islington, its six-week programme is in full swing. Young people are hearing from coaches about professionalism in their workplace, phone communication skills and practising interview techniques. 'I've personally learnt to be more confident and to know it's not just me that has a hard time looking for jobs or looking for studies, it's a community of people that struggle,' says Hailey, one of the participants. The programme also works with local companies to create a network between young people and businesses. However, others claim a complete shift in perception is needed to help Islington's unemployed youngsters. Anna, the centre manager of Spear Islington, says: 'We need to myth-bust that Islington is just a wealthy borough because it's got wealth. 'It also has great deprivation, and I think that can often get overlooked depending on where you go and what circles you mix in.'

Spain is robbing British expats, says former tax chief
The former head of Spain's tax office has accused officials in the country of 'robbery' against British expats. Ignacio Ruiz-Jarabo said the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT), which he oversaw from 1998 to 2001, had created a 'fiscal hell' that put off international investors. He told The Telegraph of how wealthy foreigners who moved to the European nation to take advantage of a lucrative tax scheme faced retrospective investigations into their finances. The tax rules, dubbed the 'Beckham law' after Sir David Beckham utilised them during his time at Real Madrid, charge foreign workers a flat 24.75pc tax rate on Spanish-sourced income up to €600,000 (£517,000) per year for six years. It is far lower than the progressive tax rates of up to 47pc paid by Spaniards. Dividends, interest and capital gains generated outside Spain are generally exempt from tax under the regime. But users of the scheme who have high incomes risk being caught up in tax audits that target the wealthy in Spain, Mr Ruiz-Jarabo said. 'There isn't a special focus on foreigners, [but] there is more of a focus on high earners and business people because they are bound to have more assets. 'Many of the people who have been certified have a few years later received a tax inspection denying their [tax] position as expatriates. This situation produces legal insecurity.' He said he knew of cases where the authorities targeted foreigners with financial audits, regardless of their status under the tax scheme. 'This is robbery to expatriates that have been unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of these inspections.' He claimed as a result, foreigners and native Spanish taxpayers are threatened with huge tax bills and fines as much as three times the size of alleged unpaid taxes. Mr Ruiz-Jarabo said Spanish officials were incentivised to target wealthy expats because of a bonus structure that rewards those who collect the most tax. In 2019, the last year for which data is available, a €95m (£82m) bonus pot was set aside to incentivise raising €150bn of income tax and VAT revenue. The bonus system has been criticised for encouraging arbitrary investigations and confiscations. Taxpayers in Spain appealed 30pc of tax audits in recent years, according to figures provided by the Spanish government. It said less than 1pc of taxpayers using the 'Beckham law' had been the subject of tax audits. AEAT conducts around 27,000 tax assessments per year, according to official sources. Between 2020 and 2023, courts ruled totally or partially in favour of AEAT in 77pc of those cases. This compares with a rate of around 85pc for appeals won by HMRC during the same period. Last year, there were approximately 275,000 British people living in Spain. It is not known how many have used the country's flat tax rules for foreigners, which were introduced in 2005. The scheme requires that applicants have moved to Spain for work purposes, having obtained a contract with a Spanish company. They must not have been a tax resident in the country in the five years previously. 'Fiscal hell for Spaniards and foreigners' Mr Ruiz-Jarabo also criticised the proposed 100pc levy on the sale of Spanish properties to non-EU buyers. 'It is a completely unfair system this proposal of 100pc tax on foreigners purchasing property. It is an aggression against the freedom of movement of capital, it goes against the values of the European Union to put this type of barrier against the movement of capital. 'It is telling investors this is not a safe place to invest. It can only be understood from a radical Left ideology that those with money to invest should be seen as suspicious. It does not bode well for Spain's economy if it is implemented.' Madrid lawmakers are expected to vote on the proposal in the second half of this year. The levy could represent the latest blow for Britons who live and holiday in Spain. The ruling Spanish Socialist Workers' Party also wants to charge 21pc VAT on stays of less than 30 days – more than double the rate paid by hotels. Growing anti-tourist sentiment in Spain has already seen cities like Malaga and Madrid capping new licences for holiday lets, while Barcelona will ban them completely by 2028. Mr Ruiz-Jarabo said laws defending taxpayers in Spain had suffered 'mutilations' under Pedro Sanchez, the country's socialist prime minister, causing a 'fiscal hell for Spaniards and foreigners alike'. Official sources at the Spanish government said: 'Spain is an attractive and welcoming country for British businesses and citizens just as the United Kingdom continues to be a key partner and point of reference for Spanish companies and consumers. 'The Spanish Tax Agency is a prestigious, transparent institution, internationally recognised organisation and fully aligned with the highest standards expected of a modern tax administration.'
