ANGELA Rayner was all smiles as she was spotted out in public for the first time since her bombshell resignation as deputy PM.
The MP shared a hug with a friend in Manchester while the rest of her colleagues were up the road in Liverpool for Labour’s annual Party conference.
Wearing big sunglasses and a black hoodie, flame-haired Angela hugged a pal while out and about in her constituency of Ashton-under-Lyne.
Brave-faced Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria beamed for the cameras as they arrived for the five day politics marathon.
But the PM is facing plots and talk of challenges to leadership from grumpy Labour MPs and members.
Labour Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham has said Labour MPs are urging him to make a Westminster comeback so he can challenge Sir Keir for the Labour crown.
Ms Rayner was forced to quit as deputy PM after the Sun on Sunday revealed she had bought a third home in Hove.
She had underpaid stamp duty tax on the flat by £40,000.
