Ainu to think Angela Rayners has been set up to fail on her 1.5m homes target ?
you can barely get planning permission through for a small extension in under 10 weeks let alone 1.5 m new homes
Every month that goes by the shortage compounds
I wonder if Kier has set her up to fail

Add in Phillipson to that. Taking a wrecking ball to education and simultaneously angering independent sector, state sector, teachers and educators. Quite an achievement but as long as the unions are happy! Except they aren't either 😆

That’s a woman so unemployable that only her own mum would employ her, that too in a charity.

That’s the person in charge of children’s education in this country.

This country is doomed.

The faux outrage at OP’s title is simply a way to deflect attention from the fact that tis government is atrocious, even worse the last one. And Rayner is of low calibre and she’s being found out.

Really, You honestly can say that this Government is worse, after just a few months? How strange.

Her name is Rayner. And she apologised for the remark. The title of the OP is a misogynistic insult. Not that the OP can manage to spell Starmer's name either.

It’s a deliberate misspelling designed to belittle.

It’s not a difficult question to grasp. What don’t you understand?

So tell us more about her performances that you dislike

She’s on her way out she’s deliberately been kept out of the public eye as she’s a train wreck. Rayner was put in the front bench to appease the unions she’s uneducated and chippy. Rachel from accounts Bridget from the block Two Tier Keir millipede they’re all dreadful human beings hell bent on ruining this country

Yeah, thought so.

I mean Raynor herself throws around slurs such as "Tory scum" so there's that.....

Does anyone know how many she has built so far? She should have built 150k so far.

No government could be worse than the last one.

YABU to recycle a snarky little insult used to belittle one woman so that you can belittle another.

Absolutely.

It was never going to happen. I work very closely with social housing providers, they are very keen to build more homes but they simply don’t have the funds to build that many. There has been no increase in grant funding, all their cash is going on remediation works to their existing stock - cladding, damp and ESG targets. They’ve also been absolutely floored by increases to NI and NMW. Most of them have reduced their development plans. There are also simply not enough construction workers.

Absolutely. Before any of this can happen we need about 5 years of well-funded construction apprenticeships.

ManchesterGirl2 · 09/02/2025 12:29

Why are you using that misogynistic title?

bemoresloth · 09/02/2025 12:28

Loveley, another thread full of misogyny

I've tried to point out the misogyny of "Rachel from Accounts" and the foul man who coined the phrase before and was shouted down. Apparently it's no different to "30p Lee".

YANBU to start applying this shit to any female member of the government.

JimHalpertsWife · 09/02/2025 12:25

Jossjt · 09/02/2025 12:22

Of course he has. She will be the fall guy. She’s a bit like Harris who was put in charge of the US border, when her handlers knew she had neither the intelligence, nor the political ability to get something like that done. Rayner is in same league.

Two Tier has his favourites. Rachel from accounts and Red Miliband. The former trashes the economy to give billions to the latter to piss up the wall. And the country just plunges deeper into oblivion.

Buckle up everyone. It’s gonna be a rough ride.

Edited

Have you looked at Rayners working history? As with Harris' both women were clearly the most qualified for their respective roles.
