Rayner retains Labour's shadow education secretary post
Angela Rayner has retained her education brief in Jeremy Corbyn's shadow cabinet.
Corbyn made few changes in his reshuffle, of which Rayner was reappointed after first filling the role in July last year.
In a tweet, Ms Rayner said: "Extremely happy to remain the shadow secretary of state for education. Our team will continue to provide an alternative vision for education."
