The Labour frontbencher has long made a point of her working class roots, and rose to prominence under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership. During his time as leader, Mr Corbyn tweeted "there would be no billionaires and no one would live in poverty" in a fair society. Now, Ms Rayner insisted Labour wants Britons to "create wealth", chiming with the party's former spin doctor, Peter Mandelson. He famously said in 1998 said of New Labour: "We are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich as long as they pay their taxes." And responding to those remarks on the BBC's Political Thinking podcast, Ms Rayner agreed with Mr Madelson's comments. She said: "We want people to get on in life. "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. "It's about sharing that wealth and understanding where that wealth comes from."){kind=link}
