Dear Lord above, I've seen people removed and banned from pubs for less. She's the Home Secretary. What have we come to?

I'd like Charles Walker to be included in the film or series - Kenneth Branagh
Steve Baker - Phil Davies
Michael Fabricant - I reckon Paul Whitehouse could pull that off with the wig

@Mobiledesktop I personally think that the hate for Angela Rayner (to spell her surname correctly) is mostly based in horrific classism. We've seen how the Eton and Oxbridge educated politicians are functioning, so let's not assume that education is everything. Rayner's personal style is abrasive, her grammar may not be perfect, but I'd rather have her (a person who has held real jobs in the real world) than any of the current load of hot air we currently have.

And of course 'diversity' isn't just about skin colour - it's also about background, especially in the UK.

The thing is , I'm from the same area as Angela Rayner ( if anything a rougher estate) but she is painfully thick even by Stockport's standards.
It's just insulting to suggest that these people that have come through the shortlisting route are the best we have as a country.
Yet, you will criticize and call the Tories all day long and wear blinkers when it comes to Labour.
What about Claudia Webbe , the Leicester MP that has finally gone? No other British political party could put these cretins up as candidates.

Downing Street announcement at 1.30

Claudia maybe thick but all party selection committed seem to pick the thickos

Are we all ready for the announcement? The lectern is ready and waiting.

I hope it comes before my meeting! I hope they aren’t late today as they usually are with statements etc

Thatsasmashingblouseyouvegoton · 20/10/2022 13:31

Acclamation of Hunt?

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/10/2022 13:35

who knows

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 20/10/2022 13:35

I 💕 Angela Rayner.

She’s gone from single mum at 16 to deputy on the front bench.

The Tory party are always very admiring of this, until it’s about Angels Rayner.

TheGhostOfLiz · 20/10/2022 13:36

And she's gone.

OneTC · 20/10/2022 13:36

Well that was quick

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/10/2022 13:37

another one bites the dust

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 20/10/2022 13:38

Oh dear what a shame.

What monster is going to replace her?

General election now.

Obki · 20/10/2022 13:38

Wow!

MrsLargeEmbodied · 20/10/2022 13:39

discipline of the tory party is a big issue

OneTC · 20/10/2022 13:40

Someone mentioned braverman will be running 🤮

justasking111 · 20/10/2022 13:45

Ask yourselves who do you want to square up against Putin?

AutumnCrow · 20/10/2022 13:48

If Russia is a threat we need a unity government.

Secondly, we have now all seen what happens when you promote people beyond their abilities. We should not be looking at diversity, we should be looking at competence.

Labour are proposing that Angela Raynor
(a woman that would struggle to read a copy of the Beano) be a member of the cabinet in the next government.
Yeah, you've got me there.

Angela Raynor has done pretty well for herself actually, though you hate to see or accept it. Probably better than you have…

Angela Rayner is what's known as a "diversity hire". It is common practice now in all walks of life.

Yes, nothing to do with her being a female that came from nothing to something through hard work and ambition.

Love her or hate her, you can’t deny she made something of herself. Odious, stuck up people Tory living idiots just hate it despite supposedly being all about progressing through personal gumption.

She’s not a “hire” of any kind. She’s been democratically elected three times with a majority of almost half of the votes cast.
