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

I'm a very different person in terms of my lifestyle, etc.

But characters cut through and soundbites cut through.

And therefore, how you make the argument on some of the things we're doing when actually it doesn't happen overnight, right?

So, you know, I am creating the basis of change that will pay dividends to the next generation.

The reforms we're making now will help and they will alleviate some of the challenges, but it's not going to happen overnight.

There is some things like, you know, the no fault evictions that will have an impact and it will have an impact quite quickly.

But there's other things that the real ingrained problem is like we've been sugar rushing on short termism.

So we've not invested in infrastructure.

We've not invested in housing.

We've not invested in the industries of the future.

We've been too slow and too, I want a soundbite.

I want a quick thing.

Well, the real infrastructure investment and the investment in Britain and making sure that our regulations are fit for purpose as well for the challenges that we face going forward, we're just not quick enough and nimble enough in this world, in this age, to make that change that people want to see.

And what worries me about that is if you look at populism,

so whether it's the Greens or Reform or others, is that we're going to end up in this situation again where people feel, okay, they're offering, like we did, we offered change.

And people's expectation is, you better deliver it.

This is what you said.

And if it's not delivered quickly in the way in which news cycles deliver these days, then people are going to become more and more frustrated

that they'll feel that politics doesn't work for them and that politicians are out of touch or that politicians don't understand the challenges that they face and therefore people become more and more despondent and it's like a vicious cycle then to go to more and more extremes to get what you are demanding that you feel is not happening in the political system.

And it's full of minefields.
