Rayner 'will miss' Dowden 'battle of the gingers' exchanges

The deputy PM said she would miss their "battle of the gingers" in a light-hearted reference with Oliver Dowden to their similar hair colours.

Angela Rayner and the Tory deputy had been speaking about the roles of King Charles and the late Queen in the Commonwealth.

She said she did not expect to face Dowden again at PMQs after the Conservative Party chooses a new leader on 2 November.
