Description
In her first interview since returning to government, Angela Rayner, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, has spoken to Matt Chorley on BBC Radio 5 Live.
Angela Rayner said she would not repay her severance payment for leaving government last year.
She would not set a specific target to meet the prime minister, Andy Burnham's target for "the biggest council house building programme since the post-war period", disputing when the "post-war period" ended. Nor would she put a date on meeting the promise to end rough sleeping.
She also talked about a period of reflection when she spent time on the backbenches, and discussed the social importance of nightclubs.
