Ms Rayner added:, external "I will take the fight to the Tories on their dodgy contracts and sleaze. And I will set out Labour's policy to replace Tory cronyism and cash for mates with an insourcing revolution so that public services are delivered in the public interest, not for private profit.
"I will work tirelessly to reform our Party and deliver a policy agenda that will enable us to reconnect with the voters that we need to win, especially in our traditional heartlands, and show that the Labour Party speaks for the working class. That is our founding mission.
"I also want to thank friends from all across the Labour Party and our movement who have been in touch with me. United we stand, divided we fall. The past we inherit the future we build. Solidarity."
Jonathan Ashworth has said in a Tweet he is "delighted" to be staying in his job as shadow health secretary:

The BBC understands Angela Rayner will play a leading role in developing Labour party policy, particularly in relation to the government's "levelling up agenda", economic policy and workers' rights.
A supporter of Ms Rayner told the BBC: "On Friday Keir couldn't answer a simple question about what Labour's vision is, what our offer is and how we will win back the voters in our heartland seats. Angela can answer that question and is the best person to lead the fightback in the Red Wall."
Rayner remains the party’s elected deputy leader, and will now also shadow Michael Gove as the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. She was also given two new titles - shadow First Secretary of State, and shadow Secretary of State for the Future of Work.

In a Tweet, external she said: "Really pleased to become the shadow housing secretary - some really big issues to tackle from cladding, housing crisis, private rented sector, homelessness and providing decent housing for all, to name a few.
"I will really miss my role as shadow business minister and Ed Miliband."
Miliband remains in his position as the party's shadow business and energy secretary.

It's not an enormous sweeping reshuffle on some kind of vast scale, but there are some particular changes of note.
First of all, Angela Rayner, deputy leader of the Labour party - the bust up with Keir Starmer began all the bitterness and the disputes of this reshuffle today.
She will actually go to another big job, she'll be the shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, a fancy name for being somebody who will be very senior indeed in the team who will face off in the House of Commons against Michael Gove.
Shadow chancellor, Anneliese Dodds, has been demoted to become the party chair. She will be replaced by Rachel Reeves, somebody who's been prominent in Labour circles for a long time, not somebody who's identified with the left of the party in any way.
And one other thing, perhaps not a huge household name, but a name that really matters around these parts, is the veteran chief whip - Nick Brown - he is out.
He's put out a statement saying that he and Keir Starmer have left things on perfectly decent terms but in terms of the machinations of how this place works, his departure is something that really will matter.
This is certainly not been the kind of day that Keir Starmer would have wanted. A reshuffle is supposed to be about putting a rocket in people's bellies, getting things going.
Particularly after Labour had a very patchy set of results with some really tough contests, losing ground to the Tories in many areas that they like to think of as their own.
That said, Starmer's allies are saying tonight that he resisted some demands other people were making, he kept his head down, he took longer than they would have wanted and it was messy - but in the end he did manage to get it done.
But I think this does give a wobble to Labour's sentiment. He has critics on the left who have already used this as an opportunity to pile in and push him to try to change direction.
The shadow cabinet itself is due to meet tomorrow at noon, one wonders quite what the atmosphere will be like in the room.
Rachel Reeves has replaced Anneliese Dodds as Labour's shadow chancellor.
In a Tweet, Reeves said she was "honoured" to take the role:

The Labour reshuffle was triggered when Sir Keir Starmer sacked Angela Rayner from her role as party chair and campaign coordinator, following poor results in the English local elections.
She has now been given the role of shadowing Michael Gove in the Cabinet Office, and will also take the titles shadow First Secretary of State, and shadow secretary for the Future of Work
An ally of Rayner said:
“Angela obviously comes out of this significantly more powerful both in terms of the party and policy. She will be much more visible now she isn't being held back.
“She will lead both party reform and the development of a policy agenda that is credible, radical and actually connects with the voters we need to win.
"She will set out our vision, develop policy across the board and lead the fight to win back voters across former Labour heartlands and take on the government's sham "levelling up" agenda."

Image source, Getty ImagesLabour leader Sir Keir Starmer has completed his shadow cabinet reshuffle to unveil his "refreshed and renewed team" and vows the party will "learn from the places we lost".
In a statement he said: “The Labour Party must be the party that embraces the demand for change across our country. That will require bold ideas and a relentless focus on the priorities of the British people. Just as the pandemic has changed what is possible and what is necessary, so Labour must change too.
“In the last 24 hours we have seen fantastic results for Labour Metro Mayors, as well as the Labour government in Wales under Mark Drakeford. They have shown the difference Labour can make in power, standing up for their communities.
“We have seen Labour begin to turn around its fortunes in Scotland under the leadership of Anas Sarwar. These results give us optimism and inspiration for the future. The challenge for us now is to build upon these successes and learn from the places we lost.
“I look forward to working with our refreshed and renewed team to take on that challenge, deliver that change and build the ambitious programme that will deliver the next Labour government.”
The leader of the Labour party, Sir Keir Starmer, has re-shuffled some of his top team.
