Labour's deputy leader says the party wants people to 'create wealth', echoing Peter Mandelson.
Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner has admitted she is relaxed about people becoming "filthy rich... as long as they pay their taxes".
Speaking to the BBC's Political Thinking podcast, Ms Rayner was asked about her views on wealth and class.Her comments represent a shift away from the language used by Labour MPs and shadow ministers under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. In one tweet, the left-wing leader said "there would be no billionaires and no one would live in poverty" in a fair society.
"If that means that they're going to be filthy rich as he [Lord Mandelson] says, I wouldn't use that term, but people are going to have great wealth," Ms Rayner said. "It's about sharing that wealth and understanding where that wealth comes from."
