Sounds like she's throwing her hat in the ring.

She says she's paid off the tax she owes and is no longer under investigation.

This apparently means she's free to run - and is going to.

Streeting seems more able to listen to women.

UltraHorse · 14/05/2026 12:19

Never neighbours said she didn't live in her council house but it wasn't investigated was it and now HMRC say she didn't try to avoid tax but she hadn't paid it and if she can't understand rules other people have to follow she could be a prime minister Doesn't make much sense ??

Good on the world stage? The US president more or less called him a plonker? He isn"t sorting out the main concern that masses of people have in the UK though, mass immigration, immigration is only down because they are tweaking visa rules to try and head off Reform, but they are globalists at heart and can"t wait to bend the knee to the EU once more, if he won another term it would be back to business as usual. FOM is designed to suppress wages in developed countries and expose a whole new batch of people to debt taking, similar to how the tobacco companies spread into Asia when the European/US markets were saturated.

The US president more or less called him a plonker?

The current US president calling someone a plonker is a good sign for sure? for the plonker I mean. That plonker must be doing something right.

And moving back to EU and introducing FOM with EU would be great, I'm sure there are millions of people in UK who'd support it.

I hate Labour's internal policies, I think they are economic disaster, but taking us back to EU would make me to vote for them

Uncouth has been said a few times now.
Why is she "uncouth?"
So far I'm getting - because she's been seen vaping, having a drink and sitting on a dinghy/lilo thing.
If she's on holiday, good on her.
I actually think that's kind of refreshing, having someone a bit more relatable than Hooray Henry toffs from Eton always visible and in power.
(Also sure I've seen a photo of Boris sat about with his belly out in just his trunks, on the beach. Just googled to make sure, yep, yep I have, why did I just do that to myself 😂)
Did he get as much flack and called uncouth? Doubt it.
As for "adverse" and "averse" sometimes stuff like that comes down to accent.

We all have different expectations. If someone is very like her, they won't realise that she is uncouth and so too are they.

That's just the way life is.

Birds of a feather flock together-as the centuries old saying goes-and admire the other birds in their flock.

So, if they are all rough arses, they admire that-how can they not because to criticise one rough arse is to criticise the whole flock, including themselves.

Lizards are pretty ugly but other lizards don't think that. They find each other attractive How could they not.

Uncouth people don't think Angela is uncouth and admire her: how could they not.

Yes, she is as rough as a bear's arse but if you are too then that will be something to admire. T

They don't see the revulsion from others because, just as Mother Nature doesn't let the lizard know he is ugly, it doesn't let the rough arses know they are rough arse!

I'm confused, because I thought the Corbynite rump had gone over to the Greens?

Some have but there are backbenchers who still revere Corbyn. It is they who have given Starmer his headaches since becoming Labour Leader. But Rayner, is on the left of the Party so there would be a lurch to more socialist policies if she became leader. Probably playing right into the arms of Farage come 2029.

No and not because of her tax issues which are resolved but because she would be hopeless. Compare and contrast the CV’s of the likely candidates with that of Al Carns.

I actually think it's important to have people with different life experiences in charge, and not just all the same privately educated, privileged lifestyles from birth without a clue or care for anyone else who "isn't them."
It's not just "birds of a feather" flock together (thanks for the insinuation there 😁) I just think there's something off about all the dismissing her as uncouth, thick, common, when all it seems to boil down to is she said the word scum once, was caught vaping and drinking, and has an accent. Oh and had a baby young.
None of that has any indication on whether she's good at her job or not.

A left wing politican like AR is just dying to launch very left wing polies that would bankrupt the UK.

Of course she would be fine. She would 100% make sure of it!

The fact that as Housing Minister she didnt understand her own property SD is just rubbish. She either tried to work it out herself and got it wrong or thought she would use a middle in the nowhere firm of conveyancers to keep it under the radar and then state she didnt really understand the whole process.

She knew she had a complex property situation. Either way she is either sly and feathering her own nest or thick. Neither of these things makes her capable of running the UK.

I havent even started on her latest on/off boyfriend and his views.

Why you holding any weight to what her boyfriend may think? Are women only as good as their fella?

Because you will be judged on the company you keep / date. If you were dating Tommy Robinson then don't be surprised if people judge you for it!

He was fired from the Labour Party for attending picket lines and I believe giving interviews when he was told not to.

What if she became PM and he was shown on the picket lines for the teachers, Doctors or underground workers.

CitizenofMoronia · 14/05/2026 13:03

Yes! 😂😂
