I actually met Angela Rayner during the General Election campaign, the battle bus came to a neighbouring constituency and members from other branches were asked to turn out to support the visit and the local candidate. I think I posted about it at the time

I already liked her, but I was very impressed by her speech, the way she answered people with difficult questions and took time to listen to the concerns of a teacher and a care worker. She was good humoured and despite being under pressure from members of her team to get back on the bus as they were behind schedule but she was happy to pose for pictures and chat to us all.

She is one of Labour’s greatest assets and I for one am sick of the constant negativity from the right wing media. People who actually met her that day were really impressed.

During the whole post referendum tizz, plenty of Brexiteers were willing to string up Her Madge if she dared oppose the will of the people.

Good news on the hotel.

Rayner is having a well deserved holiday.

Farage is still being a fuckwiit.

The agitators are doing their best but still being 3rd rate. I'm sure the twats will keep on swatting though.

I hope I've summed it up.

Best wishes to all recovering or supporting others through illness.

There are certainly some wildly and deliberately inaccurate representations of the injunction case out there.

Course there is.

It’s like a toddler tantrum.

We are shouting and stamping our feet and still not getting our own way. So now I need to up the ante.

Starmer needs to hold off like you do to any tantrumming toddler. Let them burn themselves out and realising proper words and communication always works in the end.

Rayner enjoys politics.

Yes and I think that’s why she’s so good at it.

Im not left leaning Labour type but I’d absolutely LOVE Rayner to be leader of Labour and would absolutely vote Labour if she was.

She is everything we need people to see - came from the bottom to the top through hard work and resilience and knows she is and stays true to who she is .

i think the intent is far worse than that.
It is to encourage violence and undermine the rule of law.

Hehe on the text of the deletion.
