ANGELA Rayner has a “brass neck” for visiting Scotland just days after her party’s bankers’ bonus U-turn, the SNP said today.

Labour’s deputy leader was challenged to explain why her party ruled out reinstating the ban scrapped last year by the Tories.

SNP social justice spokesman David Linden said: “Ms Rayner really does have a brass neck arriving in a constituency where the callous two-child cap impacts 1,600 children just days after U-turning on Labour's bankers’ bonus policy.

“Clearly, all it took was a quick jaunt to Davos with Westminster’s wealthy elite for the Labour Party to abandon their principles once again.

“Sir Keir Starmer is right when he says his party has changed: they no longer represent the hard working people on these isles.”

Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the U-turn earlier this week.

A spokesman for Momentum said that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Ms Reeves seemed determined to repeat new Labour’s failures.
