I swear more than I’ve ever heard Rayner swear. So do a large portion of MN. It’s an indication of absolutely nothing about intelligence or claw or professionalism.
Im not embarrassed by her. I was/am embarrassed by Johnson and Truss, though. And by Sunak leaving D Day celebrations.

So true. We have been a laughing stock around the world with our last 3 PMs. Most people around the world won't pick up on there being anything common in the way she speaks.

Rayner was elected deputy leader by the members, not appointed by Starmer.

Lammy studied at Harvard.

He thinks a man can grow a cervix from hormones, or surgery.

If that doesn't make him a grade A dickhead, I don't know what does.

Dont be so silly, OP. The French are looking forward to hosting David Lammy at Versailles, and showing him the room where Marie Antoinette discovered radium.

oh, and if Trump,is re elected, he and Lammy will have a good laugh together about the inflatable.

We don’t on every thread of course. But this thread is about politics and the Labour Party so women’s rights are highly relevant.

Er, no it isn't. But it was very quickly turned into it.

I don't get why people feel the need to alter the discussion of any post to the subject they want to talk about, whatever that subject might be.

Just answer the original question or go and find a thread or start one of your own if you want to talk about something other than what the OP asks.

“Every damned thread” (including a current one about a child going to buy a sausage roll) is infested with Labour cheerleading.

There’s a politics board. Why isn’t this thread and, for example, the nauseatingly sycophantic one ‘AIBU..to like Keir Starmer?’ confined to that board?

Dunno. I’d be happy if they were moved. 🤷‍♀️

I think that Lisa Nandy will struggle with Media, Culture and Sport, and I think she'll say something very contentious and stupid during the Olympics.

The first 7 words of your post was sufficient!

She certainly will struggle.

Crinklycrisp · 10/07/2024 11:55

Is this thread going to turn into another antl-trans thread? Over and over again.

Pro woman, i think.

Why? Sounds a bit misogynistic/racist without context.

newnamethanks · 11/07/2024 18:05

Lisa Nandy, however inadequate she may be for the post, cannot possibly be as ignorant as Nadine Dorries. And she won't be trying to flog Channel4. Guarantee it.

LoobyDoop2 · 11/07/2024 18:10

Leaving the trans issue aside- because I am strongly GC, but I agree that it’s neither the only or the most important issue atm- I heard David Lammy speak at one of the anti-Brexit marches and wasn’t impressed. His arguments and solutions were very simplistic- only slightly more articulate than Steve Bray. I don’t know whether that was his limit, or he just hugely underestimated the intelligence of his audience, but it wasn’t great and I was surprised to hear he’d been at Harvard.

Crikeyalmighty · 11/07/2024 18:10

@User2460177 but this thread wasn't about that was it?

GoodHeavens99 · 11/07/2024 18:11

Vergus · 10/07/2024 12:46

Angela Rayner - she's clearly a clever lady and I think it's great that she's in the role she is. She appeals to the "working populace" and people can relate to her because of her humble background. It's refreshing to see.

Is she??

I've never heard a single intelligent thing out of her mouth.

PrimalLass · 11/07/2024 18:13

Ed Milliband for pissing off Scotland today re oil.

bellinisurge · 10/07/2024 11:15

I think Lammy too. He's thick. You can only hide that for so long

He’s a barrister and attended Harvard Law School which is not renowned for teaching thickies. I wonder why you think he is thick.

Another thread based on hate - lovely

Legitimate criticism isn't hateful.

No it isn’t. Unjustified, baseless criticism is though.

AnnieSnap · 11/07/2024 18:26

This is a Labour Government. Perhaps you’re getting mixed up. They are not the Tories with their lack of morality, integrity and truth 🙄

CelesteCunningham · 11/07/2024 18:26

lovelysunshine22 · 11/07/2024 17:39

Nothing to do with her being common, more the fact shes got the vocabulary of a fish wife and a fish wife probably has better manners! Shes simply an embarrassment to the country!

So just to be clear - this isn't misogynistic criticism of Rayner? Ok...

anon666 · 11/07/2024 18:28

TorroFerney · 10/07/2024 11:19

Or perhaps they are just not right and it’s nothing to do with being northern or not privately educated?

So crispy crisp was actually right then? Your comment makes it clear that is what you think.

newnamethanks · 11/07/2024 18:28

THICK? You're thinking of another word ending in CK aren't you? If you must insult those who have achieved substantially more then you have done, try to be a little more creative. Otherwise, the only person looking thick is you.

Oh, shit, I think people are forgetting that the regiment of angels has descended to put their arms around us and free us from poverty, disease and nasty habits of mind. Thank you so much for reminding us about the absence of any selfishness, venality or dishonesty in Labour.

I will now go back to the thread where someone’s posting North Korean-worthy photographs of Archangel Starmer and drop to my knees in admiration.

🙄
