The Rest Is Politics · Enraged or Engaged? Angela Rayner on The Gen Z Story · 11 May 2026 podcast

People feel like no matter how hard you work, no matter how much you try, the system is rigged against you and it's not working in your favour.

So if you're working or you're going to university, you're trying to do everything right to get a good job, to raise a family one day hopefully, to get your own home, they feel it's almost impossible and they're correct to feel that way.

We know our birth rate is falling.

The secret is they've got power.

They've got power in their communities, in their activism, in their demands, and we should be doing everything we can to show them that we're on their side.

There's a couple of Gen Zs in Parliament as well.

So I think there are some out there, definitely.

Because I think there are particular issues that generation feel, but they're not dissimilar to the real challenges that I think most people feel at the moment.

I think people want to try and push it that way.

And I'm sure we'll touch on some of those issues, like some of the pushback to votes at 16, which is, again, one of my bills that is going through Parliament and which I felt really strongly about.

So I think that there is pushback to some of that.

But actually, I think the challenge is that those Gen Zs, I'm a grandma now, their grandmas, their parents, they're feeling the challenge of what their youngsters are experiencing.

I think some are trying to pitch generations against each other, whereas actually I think the diagnosis and the challenge is the same.

And that's that people feel like no matter how hard you work, no matter how much you try, the system is rigged against you and it's not working in your favour.

And that's having an impact on parents who you might argue are better off, who own their own properties.

We're given the opportunities of the jobs that were created for an industry for life.

So they're seeing their youngsters and seeing that missed opportunity for them.

So they're starting to cotton on and say, well, I don't want that for my children.

I certainly don't want that for my grandchildren.
