Angela Rayner's allies fear she is being "frozen out" just weeks into the new Labour government.
They reportedly believe the Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary is being unfairly stripped of responsibilities.

She had spearheaded Labour's planned overhaul of workers' rights when Labour was in opposition.
But Business Secretary Jonathan Reynold's department will not take the lead on the flagship New Deal for Working People policy.
There is also speculation that Ms Reeves will have the planning brief stripped from her after Chancellor Rachel Reeves made it the focus of her first major speech after entering No 11.

A source told The Telegraph: “Angela has been frozen out of everything. She was sitting in the front row of a speech about her own department."
Friends of the Labour firebrand are urging her to "get out there" more.
One said: "Everyone has been looking busy – Wes, Ed and Rachel have all been out there doing things.
"Within a few days, she is already being frozen out of stuff, having parts of her brief taken off her – it is not a great start.”
Others pointed out that many of Ms Rayner’s shadow cabinet team were overlooked when it came to getting jobs in the Government.
One issue said to be setting Ms Rayner back is that the office of the Deputy Prime Minister has not yet been defined.

A recent Savanta poll showed she was the most popular choice among Labour members to succeed Sir Keir Starmer as party leader.
A Labour source said: “Following the election, many members of the team have moved into government roles, meaning changes to the HQ operation. This will allow the party to support the Government on delivering its mission of national renewal.
“The restructure of the Downing Street operation has moved at pace. It would not be correct to say that this has caused frustration for senior personnel in the party.”
