...to think Angela Rayner needs to wind her neck in?

[Damnloginpopup]

Why is a FORMER deputy, who was binned in disgrace for being VERY NAUGHTY potentially in line to oust Keir Starmer as big boss?

I'd have sacked her completely, not just as deputy leader, for her prior misconduct. Surely the Labour party can't support ousting their leader and replacing him with a proven wrong'un? Is there nobody else decent? Has she no shame?

Fucking snakes, the lot of them. I thought we'd seen the back of that sort of barefaced bullshit with the downfall of boris.

I really like Angela Rayner and hope she features prominently in our politics for a long time to come. The tax thing is a big bag of meh as far as I'm concerned; I don't expect politicians to be infallible living saints or take vows of poverty, I just want them to try to do the right thing for ordinary people and on the whole I think AR does.

Yep. How dare a working class woman aexpreas herself in public?

And having no balls is a massive point in her favour.

I'd quite like a WC woman in power. Instead of all the privately educated privileged men who know fuck all about real life. Not going to happen though because Northern and not posh enough.

@TheActualQueen I’m afraid that’s just ludicrous. The tax burden is high. It’s not possible to keep taxing to make communism a reality or take property and companies away from their owners. This costs a vast amount and we pay! It will make us poorer. AR has no idea about growing the economy and we cannot afford her politics. The better off are paying most of the taxes now. FYI - you and the country need them. They are vital - benefits recipients fund nothing.

She was the minister in charge of housing - she was responsible for the policy for housing policy for us plebs who have to pay stamp duty and taxes when we buy and sell the homes she was supposed to create,

She’s a tax cheat and a grifter and it’s entirely possible to be working class without being uneducated and uncouth. She’s insufferable and should have been sacked completely.

Err I grew up in one of the worst parts of Bristol. Violence and crime was common. I went to a school where out of 242 one went to uni at 18. I got a job in insurance, then worked for myself as a gardener but I saved and took advice and retired at 55...it worked for me and at least 20 of the 242 have retired before 60.

What an unpleasant post.

One time, he tried to fire he

she refused to be fired and he back tracked

his card was marked from then

I don’t support labour (green leftie) but I like her 😂

It’s amazing the assumptions people make based entirely on accents……

As of early 2026, reports suggest Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner's estimated net worth is approximately £4.7 million. This figure reportedly includes her income as a Member of Parliament and property holdings, with recent 2025 reports mentioning ownership of multiple properties, including a residence in Manchester and a flat in Brighton.

• Estimated Net Worth: ~£4.7 million
• Property Holdings: Reports indicate multiple properties, including a main residence in Manchester and a flat in Brighton/Hove
• .
• Role: Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary.

It is important to note that net worth figures for public officials are often based on estimates, public records, and media reports rather than verified personal financial disclosures.

Source for those figures, please?

It looks like an overview from Google. Does that figure surprise you?

Yes, originating from finance monthly.

Sadly she's dropped from her £160k a year salary to £93k though so she's at least more inline with the rest of us in the proletariat.

You wouldn’t get banged up either. You be notified and given the option to pay it back. It happens, people fuck if their taxes all the time. They get a letter and pay it. They don’t go to bloody prison.

everyone needs to stop being extra.

It does a little, yes. But she does own two properties,doesn’t she? And she gets a reasonable salary and I don’t think just because you’re on the left you should live on bread and water. So long as it’s honestly and ethically come by, fill your boots, IMHO

I'm a working class Northerner and I would die of embarrassment to see her on the world stage. Local union agitator, fine, PM, absolutely not.

£4.7m isn’t bread and water, people don’t mind wealth if it’s their side I guess.

I think she should go for it incidentally. It looks like Starmer is on the ropes, Labour MPs being very blunt he should go today.

Oh change the record. Any thread with a letter of the alphabet in the title these days and it's "pity the poor tax payers and orf with the heads of benefits claimants!"

Rayner should absolutely not be allowed to come back. It’s bloody ridiculous - found to have done wrong and then potentially let back to be a potential prime minister a few months later?! As far as I’m concerned she should lose her position as mp and never be in parliament again. How many times did they let Mandelson back and now look what’s come out!

I quite like Angela Raynor and she definitely gets treated badly in the press as a result of sexism and snobbery. However, I do think she should wind her neck in at this point, as should all the MPs on the left of the party who see this as an opportunity to get rid of Starmer, which is what they have wanted all along. It's naked opportunism on her part - not a good look at all and not good for the country. However admirable her achievements are (and I agree that they are) anyone who thinks she can take over as PM now and the press and country will get behind her and Labour will turn a corner and see off Reform is absolutely delusional. At this point, she and everyone else in her wing of the party needs to sit down, shut up and show some professionalism and unity until the documents have been released and investigated and we know exactly what we are dealing with.

I didn’t say it was bread and water-I said I didn’t think people on the Left should live on bread and water. I don’t mind people on any side having wealth so long as it’s honestly and ethically gained and if they’re in public life they are open about it.

Have you ever seen/heard her in the HOC? Nothing embarrassing about that.

I think she should go for it incidentally. It looks like Starmer is on the ropes, Labour MPs being very blunt he should go today.

Who? McDonnell, Maskell, Lewis - the ones who've been saying similar since they got in? Or the unnamed 'sources' all the Tory journos are breathlessly quoting? Plenty of MPs have also voiced their support, or at least stated this is absolutely not the time for a leadership contest and we need the full facts before it can be decided whether this is the end for KS. Of course, those who don't support Labour will be hoping she goes for it as it will be a disaster, not necessarily because of who she is but because of how it will further divide the Labour Party and get in the way of them cleaning up the absolute shit show left by the Tories.
