Standing in the kitchen, he began chatting informally to a fellow Labour Party member, Vimal Choksi, both with a beer in hand.

One of the attendees was Philip Wilson-Marks, then Vice-Chair of the Ashton-under-Lyne CLP.

According to him, it was common for Rayner to host such parties. Attendees often stayed over, and Rayner would cook breakfast in the morning. The karaoke machine was often wheeled out...
