Come the next General Election, who would you most rejoice to see losing their seat?

What's wrong with Angela Raynor! Highly articulate, quick thinking - and beautiful as well. Who cares about her accent? Her speech is clear and intelligent. Goddess help us if we have to stick with Etonian accents - what's all that about!!??

I think Angela Rainer is a brilliant. A young mum who raised her children and went to college to better her education. She also looked after her mum who was Ill. I think she is an example to you youngsters. You don’t have to have a posh voice to be an MP

1) Rees-Mogg
2) Patel
3) Braverman

Johnson goes without saying
And along with that lot anyone who does not put people before profit and prioritise looking after the most vulnerable in the community

"Embarrassing Northerner" Angela Rayner on Peston last night.

Being of north-western English origin myself I don't find Angela Rayner at all embarrassing. She's the kind of authentic voice of the women of the streets of that part of the world that's been mostly missing from Parliament, and entirely missing from the front benches, for far too long.

No doubt, like me 25 years earlier, she was set at an early age on a course leading to obscurity, meniality and leaving serious matters of state to her betters from the middle and upper classes. Like me she waved two fingers to all that. If the governing classes with their BBC accents and expensive suits find her annoyingly vulgar then long may she flourish. Being a capable politician shouldn't mean casting off the culture you were born into and well done Angela for refusing to do so.

Jacob Reese Mogg and Priti Patel and Liz Truss. They have all caused such damage to our country

I get very sad when I see people who think they are all the same.

My local MP was a police officer and worked with ex-servicemen. She was a college lecturer and board member of a sporting association. I didn't vote for her or her party but she is a good local MP. She's also her party's spokesperson on Work and Pensions and party chief whip. I think all that counts as "life experience" and we've come to a pretty pass when the people who are actually good MPs, in it for the right reasons, are dismissed along with the self-serving ones.

Totally agree. While I would shed no tears for my current MP I'd be very sad to see my former MP, Carol Monaghan, go.

Like most of the 2015 SNP intake she was never seriously expecting to be an MP when she was selected to fight one of the safest Labour seats in Scotland. People knock the candidates of mainstream London parties for being hothoused career politicians, and they often have a point, but like many of her party colleagues Carol was just doing an ordinary job, a physics teacher and head of science (a very good one too, by all accounts) at a Glasgow High School. Since the SNP members are often pointedly snubbed by the mainstream parties and don't generally vote on devolved matters, they have little to do at Westminster but aside from making it her duty as the only working scientist in the house to correct hon member on points of science, she has made it her personal mission to champion people with MS whether in Glasgow North East, Scotland, or the UK as a whole. She's also a warm and generous human being.

Ok, I'm partisan. Somewhere I have a photo of Carol and me clinking glasses of white wine in the Pugin Room of the Palace of Westminster.

"Embarrassing Northerner" Angela Rayner on Peston last night.

Rees-Mogg and Therese Coffey as she has no compassion whatsoever, awful woman.

Why.?Can you please elaborate on your sweeping statement ?
I am a northerner , and I like her!

Angela Raynor - she gives Northerners a bad name.

Well said, Rayner makes me embarrassed to be a Northerner.

In no particular order; Starmer, Rayner and Reeves.

There are others but these the most awful ones!

Angela Raynor and Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Reese Mogg and Suella Braverman,for starters.

Angela Raynor is worth the entire current cabinet. Disparaging remarks about her on here are clearly generated by ignorance and snobbery.

Love Angela Rayner! And Peter Kyle and Wes Streeting. And the poster who said owning a house in North London showed comparable wealth to the billions of Rishi Sunac and wife almost made me choke on my tea. Sadly few know who a woman is.
Lose seat? Jacob R M, it is great he works for his constituents but in the national stage he is so regressive. Suella Braverman. Gavin Williamson. Probably several more.

Minging Mogg. He's an Idiot!
Any that have been an N.Ireland secretary as they need to give these idiots a good kick up their behinds!

Angela Raynor - she gives Northerners a bad name.

In what way, exactly?

Angela Raynor - she gives Northerners a bad name.

Anyone who doesn't know what a woman is and uses terms like 'birthing person', 'chest feeding' or 'person who mensurates'. As post menopause I don't mensurate but I am definitely a woman and I have breasts

As a 50’s born woman and a Conservative since I was able to vote (until lying Boris came along). I would start with Theresa Coffey, IDS, Guy Opperman but the list could be endless. The sooner this shower are out the better

She failed to complete her education, made no attempt to rectify this in later life, has no qualifications yet apparently thought she was competent to become the Shadow Secretary of State for Education.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
What Angela does know about is being forced out of education at 16 for being pregnant, going back to college with baby in tow, whilst also working to keep a roof over her head. She fought the authorities who decreed that single mothers shouldn't have the benefit of further education to improve their lives and tried to withdraw funding. She supported the education of other women, many of whom were battered wives, in order to escape their abusive husbands. She has had a real life with real problems to deal with but let's judge her on her northern accent instead.

Well said Normandygirl I like Angela she is down to earth and has real life experience, not like most of the upper class bigwigs Who doesn’t even know the price of a loaf of bread.
I admire her determination to succeed in life but some snobby people don’t like her because of her accent and the above life experiences.
I know who I would prefer to represent my interests, rather than the super rich who doesn’t have a clue of real life problems.

Oh so many Douglas Ross JRM Truss Kwarteng and definitely Boris

Boris Johnson of course. Then Diane Abbott, possibly Angela Raynor, Rees Mogg, and one in particular whose name escapes me but who was on Sky this morning still lying and covering up this time for the current Home Secretary. And many more...

JRM for me, plenty of other Tory MPs too. He is the worst of them. My local Tory MP is pretty good, I’m prepared to vote him out though it’s unlikely as this area is true blue. So many Boris lovers locally, just how?

Oh definitely JRM
