To think that Angela Rayner could be PM one day.

[Breathoffreshair82]

I just think she's a breath of fresh air. She's real and authentic, she's come from a poor upbringing. She was her mums carer age 9, was a teenager mum, worked in social care and worked her way up the ladder. I just find it amazing that she's achieved all of this from how her life started. If she was running for PM and the next general election I will definitely be voting for her.

Coarse, aggressive, vulgar and ignorant, she is a divisive class warrior and a stain on the House of Commons. The 'many people' whose lives she allegedly understands are a small and unrepresentative minority whose concerns are already well looked after by others more sensible and mature.

You absolutely have to compete on the world stage and I really, really don't think she's capable of that.

I don't doubt she's a good constituency MP but you really do need an education and a good grasp of world affairs to be PM now.

Jesus, I hope not !.

I agree with this comment.

Never. She's appalling.

This is when you would start seen people fighting physically in parliament. That bad!

Both Angela Raynor and Lisa Nandy signed a pledge which committed to expelling women who raise concerns about women's rights and safeguarding, from the Labour Party.

Lisa Nandy also thinks any male, including rapists who self declare themselves as women should be housed in women's prisons if they commit crimes.

So it's a no from me.

Thank you for saying this.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

I was going to post exactly the same

I find her most obnoxious.
I sincerely hope she doesn't.

She was an embarrassment at PMQ's the other week.

She'd be better than Johnson but so would almost everyone in the country.

She'd be very far down my list of preferred candidates from Labour.

And look north of the border if you want to see a working class woman as the leader.

I do not agree with one single word which comes out of Sturgeon's mouth, but she is the daughter of a dental nurse and electrician, state educated, working class, grew up in a council house.

She might talk mince, but she speaks coherently and has good presentation skills. When she pops up at Cop26 or similar, the people of Scotland do not need to worry that she's going to say something awful, swear at a world leader, or have the debate completely go over her head as she's too thick to follow the argument.

She’s horrendous and would be an embarrassment, we’ve had enough of that imo

@mushroom3

Lisa Nandy could hold her own as a PM

Nah, Nandy said she was happy with the policy of locking male pedophiles and rapists up in women's prisons. So absolutely not.

Angela Raynor is fine with that too.

I consider that policy a real test of integrity, and so neither of them would pass the threshold of acceptable.

She comes across as opinionated and condescending. I could vote Labour, but not with her as leader.

I think she is brilliant.

'But aside from earning them relative financial comfort and a strong reputation, the shop meant a lot of hard work for the family and the young Margaret was not excluded from this.

Charles Moore continues: "The shop was open until 9pm on a Saturday and 8pm on a Friday.

"Monday was washing day, and Tuesday ironing. Because of the demands of the shop, Margaret 'never went on holiday with Mum and Dad', and because of the prevailing atmosphere of constant work, she never daydreamed or was idle."

Alfred eventually added numbers 2, 3 and 4 to his address on 1 North Parade, whilst 1936 saw Margaret enter the Kesteven and Grantham Girls' School.'

They were upwardly mobile though. The British class system doesn't always reflect this, but having a father who was able to provide his family who earned enough to provide for his family and you can see the family fortunes improve as a child is very different from being in a family where people didn't earn enough to cover costs and you had to care for other family members (and later a baby) despite being a child yourself. The latter is soul destroying. The former can actually be more uplifting than being in a squeezed middle class family where your parents are academics but have threadbare carpets, difficulty heating and a declining standard of living due to being on a fixed income.

I really hope not. I can't stand her fake 'salt of the earth' act and I swear the voice / accent changes dependent on topic. Don't trust her at all.

..And google her interview with Nick Farrari as well.

This must be a joke, surely?

I think more constituency MPs like her are very much needed. Good on local issues but she's not leadership material. Neither is Boris, (understatement of the century). Hopefully UK will now understand that you can't elect someone just on charisma and appeal; the person needs to actually know what they are doing.

@Flowertailbird

Brilliant in which sense of the world as you're certainly not talking about her intellect, are you?

She gets steaming drunk at party conferences and publicly rants? Not for me thanks.

Good grief. I hope not.
