Ms Rayner quit as Deputy PM in a stamp-duty row after The Sun on Sunday revealed she had bought a third home.

Asked by The Sun about a possible comeback, Sir Keir said: “I’ve always said I want Angela back.

“Even in September, at the time, I said she is going to be a big voice in the labour movement.

“But do I want Angela back at some stage? Yes, absolutely.

“I think she’s the best example ever in the United Kingdom of social mobility — going from a pretty challenging childhood to being Deputy Prime Minister.”

Asked if he missed having her around, he added: “I’m friends with Angie and like Angie a lot and we talk a lot. We still do.

“It’s always good to have Angela.”

Ms Rayner quit after it was revealed she had failed to pay £40,000 in stamp duty for the third home in Hove.

But Labour big beasts have since predicted a comeback.

She is tipped to be a “King or Queen maker” for Labour’s next leadership race.
