Angela Rayner

**Angela Rayner** (March 28, 1994 -) was a British politician who served as the 80th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from October 6, 2037 onwards, having previously been the Leader of the Opposition from August 1, 2034 until October 6, 2037. Rayner was also the leader of the Unity party from August 1, 2034 onwards. She was the MP for Ashton-under-Lyne from the 2025 general election onwards.

First elected to parliament in 2025, Angela Rayner became an MP for the Unity Party in the constituency of Ashton-under-Lyne as a backbencher during the government of Prime Minister Matilda Crow. In 2026, Rayner was re-elected and joined the shadow cabinet as a junior minister after the Conservative party formed a government with their new majority. Rayner made international headlines in 2027 after calling prime minister Rishi Sunak "scum" during Prime Minister's Questions, and subsequently being ejected from the House of Commons. Upon the Unity party's return to government in 2029, Angela Rayner was appointed as Home Secretary and set about enacting the government's domestic reforms to immigration laws, repealing many controversial laws implemented by Conservative Home Secretary Priti Patel. During Rayner's tenure in office, domestic cohesion returned to pre-2027 levels as the effects of the Global Banking Crisis began to subside.

In 2034, the Unity party lost it's narrow majority in Parliament and returned to the opposition benches against the government of Prime Minister Priti Patel. Following her defeat, Unity leader Matilda Crow resigned, resulting in a leadership election - in the subsequent election, Angela Rayner won the leadership of the Unity party and on August 1, 2034 became the Leader of the Opposition. During her tenure, Rayner opposed the Conservative government's green-belt policy, it's planned reforms of the Commons standards committee and the government's policy against the Bovido Imperium. In March 2037, Prime Minister Liz Truss led the nation into an early general election, but ultimately lost her majority and the election produced a hung parliament. Within this parliament, Rayner was able to force PM Truss to hold further elections in September 2037, and was able to produce a coalition between the Labour and Unity parties in order to form a government.

On October 6, 2037, Angela Rayner was appointed as prime minister by King William V.

## History

First elected to parliament in 2025, Angela Rayner became an MP for the Unity Party in the constituency of Ashton-under-Lyne as a backbencher during the government of Prime Minister Matilda Crow. In 2026, Rayner was re-elected and joined the shadow cabinet as a junior minister in the Home Office after the Conservative party formed a government with their newly elected majority. Rayner made headlines in 2027 after calling Prime Minister Rishi Sunak "scum" and subsequently being ejected from the House of Commons chamber by the Speaker.

Upon the Unity party's return to government in 2029, Angela Rayner was appointed as Home Secretary and set about enacting the government's domestic reforms to immigration laws, repealing many controversial laws implemented by Conservative Home Secretary Priti Patel. During Rayner's tenure in office, domestic cohesion returned to pre-2027 levels as the effects of the Global Banking Crisis began to subside. One of the flagship policies of the Home Office during Rayner's stint in the department was the reversal of overseas deportation and processing centres, which had been implemented during Patel's time in office.

## Leader of the Opposition

In 2034, the Unity party lost it's narrow majority in Parliament following the general election and returned to the opposition benches against the government of Prime Minister Priti Patel. Following her defeat in the election, Unity leader Matilda Crow resigned her role as head of the party, resulting in a leadership election - in the subsequent election, Angela Rayner won the leadership of the Unity party and on August 1, 2034 became the Leader of the Opposition. During her tenure as leader of the opposition, Rayner was fiercely critical of the Patel ministry for it's withdrawal from supporting the Eurasian Union of States and attempted to propose a motion of no confidence in the prime minister after the government lost it's ability to trade freely through the Gibraltar strait. Prime Minister Priti Patel attempted to reform the House of Commons standards committee in November 2035, but following opposition led by Angela Rayner, these propositions were abandoned. On January 15, 2036, Rayner proposed a motion of no-confidence in Priti Patel, but the motion failed 326-325. After the resignation of Priti Patel and her replacement by Liz Truss, Angela Rayner orchestrated the defeat of the government twice over the proposed loosening of green-belt regulations, humiliating the prime minister just months after she took office. After the government began to make suggestions of a snap election, Angela Rayner took a visit to the United States of America in a move seen by many as a direct challenge to the prime minister. After the January 20 Attack, Rayner instructed the Unity party to vote to deploy British soldiers in response to the Bovido Imperium's attack on the United States.

Rayner led the party into the March 2037 general election, and managed to retain the same share of seats in the House of Commons as her predecessor, whilst leading massively in the vote share. As a result of the election, Prime Minister Liz Truss lost her majority in the Commons as Sinn Fein gained 5 seats at the election in Southern Irish constituencies; however, the two parties came to a confidence and supply agreement, meaning that the Unity and Labour parties still remained in opposition. On September 2, 2037, Angela Rayner led the opposition in defeating the government's budget after the deaths of two Conservative MPs gave the opposition a majority; with the budget rejected, Prime Minister Liz Truss was forced to request the King to grant another dissolution of Parliament. In the aftermath of the subsequent election, Unity gained the largest portion of seats, but not an overall majority; following 12 days of political turmoil and intense negotiations, Rayner and Labour party leader Keir Starmer formed a coalition agreement between the two parties on October 5th, 2037, allowing Angela Rayner to become prime minister on October 6, 2037, with Starmer as her deputy prime minister.

## Premiership

 Election

Following her appointment as prime minister by King William V on October 6, 2037, Angela Rayner began the assembly of a coalition cabinet comprised of both Labour and Unity party members, with Keir Starmer as her deputy prime minister. The following day, after a session of prime minister's questions, PM Angela Rayner announced plans for a referendum on the future of the electoral system to take place in Spring 2038 as part of the coalition's main pledges for government. On November 1, 2037, Angela Rayner made her first trip abroad as prime minister to visit President Alexandria Raines in the United States of America, with the two signing a "declaration of commitment" to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and it's efforts to defeat the Bovido Imperium in Africa. After taking office in the midst of a major cost of living crisis, Angela Rayner managed to secure an economic relief package from the Sino-Scandinavian Development Fund in mid-November 2037, following negotiations with Chairman Keyton Monolith and Avalonian prime minister Nina Auber. On December 1, 2037, Prime Minister Angela Rayner was one of the primary signatories of a military pact between NATO and the Shanghai Pact with the intention of allowing the two military groups to coordinate in Operation Safeguard, as well as the ongoing Siege of Jerusalem.
