Angela Raynor (and the Lock her Up! Brigade)

So Angela Raynor allegedly gave the wrong address to the post office or something, and underpaid her tax bill ten years ago by the cost of a big shop, and this gets the Tories excited. Meanwhile, one of their MPs is defrauding campaign funds and other folks, they know, and don't tell the police for three months. James Daly MP must be furious. Am I right?

At about 340am last night, I could hear a helicopter circling. I live in her constituency. I wondered, 'What has she bloody gone and done now?'

The Tories are a busted flush, aren’t they? And I suspect that this Rayner story may well be too.

I finally thought ‘what a crock of shit’ when the vacuous Penny Mordaunt tried to ‘take aim’ about it in the House of Commons. Yet Mordaunt can’t even get her own origin story straight. And Mordaunt’s not remotely witty or incisive - just venal, scripted and cruel, but with fairly pleasant hair and a tea-room fan club.

So have the Tories sorted out all the £millions pandemic scams? Got the £60m back from Michelle Mone? Sorted out the track and trace money that Dido Harding squandered? I must have missed that.

Do you think they realise that it's backfiring. It was a great piece by AR. It's true that the Guardian has gone downhill.

That’s a good piece from Alan Rusbridger in Prospect magazine. Thanks @DuncinToffee.

When he left the editorship of the Guardian in 2015 it all really went to shit.

There’s a hit piece in the MailOnline today on Rayner and an alleged ‘smoking gun’ document signed by her old neighbour, which however appears on the face of it to be in the realms of Schrodinger’s evidence.

If there’s wrong doing all sounds extremely ropey

what will probably clear her will be a paper trail but we all know just because your names on the electric bill doesn’t mean you lived there

but the tories have done worse isn’t a defence

She's rock solid Working Class - that fact alone is enough for "Our Betters" of the Tory party to try to have her sent to the guillotine.

Maybe James Daley hasn't heard that having respectability and having respect are not at all the same thing.

Mark Menzies MP could probably advise him all about that......

Her surname is Rayner not Raynor!!!

Yes, you are right. She shouldn't be using that name either, she stole it from a man.

All Tory MPs caught up in sex scandals.

Yes, one could say ‘A Tory wall of shame’
But ONLY ONE wall.
Not TWO WHOLE HOUSES like Angela Rayner!

I heard Angela Raynor once forgot to preheat her oven. And she didn't even apologise. I heard that during COVID she once went on an extra long walk for 'exercise' tsk. I heard that while working as a carer she served lukewarm tea. The entitlement of some people. I think Rishi Sunak and Boris Johnson should give her a lecture on how to work hard and pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
