😱
Not very PC is she? Heck.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 24-Apr-24 13:49:06

She’s a total liability.

Siope Wed 24-Apr-24 13:50:41

She’s not, of course, wrong.

It made Penny Mordaunt smirk too.

Silvermite Wed 24-Apr-24 13:51:18

Wow! She never really does know when to keep her mouth closed does she?

Urmstongran Wed 24-Apr-24 13:52:28

0.5 litre approx. for any Remainers. 😁
I thought Labour were big on ā€˜words matter’?

Urmstongran Wed 24-Apr-24 13:55:00

ā€œThe right honourable landladyā€ 🤣🤣🤣🤣superb. That bit made me laugh!

Iam64 Wed 24-Apr-24 13:55:10

It made me smile šŸ™ˆ.

A very accurate description but would have been better kept to herself. Is she starting to lose it due to her own alleged shortcomings?

nick abbott on lbc refers to him as
tichy suitsize.

Hilarious! The bottom of his trousers always keep their distance from his shoes. It shouldn't matter but it irritates me.

She loses it too easily. Oliver Dowden remained calm and collected but she was really screeching. At one point I just couldn’t understand what she was saying.

Casdon Wed 24-Apr-24 14:08:12

She shoots, she scores. I don’t like insults being flung around in parliament, but that was very mild compared with some of the stuff Boris Johnson used to come out with.

Siope Wed 24-Apr-24 14:08:33

She didn’t ’lose it’ - it was clearly a scripted remark.

Sunak is commonly known on social media as the Prime Miniature.

maddyone Wed 24-Apr-24 14:10:10

Oh dear. She seems to lack manners.
I don’t have any time time for Sunak, but that’s beside the point.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 24-Apr-24 14:10:29

Once she got rattled and began screeching she wasn’t speaking from a script. She needs to learn how to remain calm and in control.

maddyone Wed 24-Apr-24 14:13:14

I didn’t see it, only just found out from this thread, as I’ve just returned from the hairdresser.
If she’s to be in government soon, she needs some lessons in acceptable behaviour in my opinion.

ronib Wed 24-Apr-24 14:16:27

Every time I hear Sunak speak on tv, I am surprised by his public facing approach. It’s almost as if he doesn’t quite believe in himself as prime minister?
Angela Rayner is not my idea of a trustworthy politician and I think it’s going to be a depressing five years ahead however.

Iam64 Wed 24-Apr-24 14:19:36

I thought she was in control in her own Angela way. When Corbyn appointed her to Education I was unimpressed. I’ve grown to like her, something I didn’t expect. I feel she’s grown into her role

lalta Wed 24-Apr-24 14:20:02

a case of sour grapes me thinks

Urmstongran Wed 24-Apr-24 14:28:20

I don’t dislike her. I quite admire her pugnacious chutzpah (are they the same thing? unnecessary duplication? šŸ¤”) but I think as a senior Government official in waiting - even Deputy PM ) she needs to tone it down a little.

Two Raynor videos - worth watching both to see context

All within usual cross party stuff to me

(you have to put up with an advert before each video)

Urmstongran Wed 24-Apr-24 14:31:34

Her name is Rayner.

Nicenanny3 Wed 24-Apr-24 14:31:37

She loves the insults doesn't she, I remember she called someone scum in the House of Commons, perhaps she should take a long hard look in the mirror she is after all under police investigation.

Sparklefizz Wed 24-Apr-24 14:36:52

What would people be saying if Sunak had personally insulted Angela Rayner? All hell would break lose!!

When people resort to personal name-calling, they are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 24-Apr-24 14:40:50

He is a gentleman. She is no lady.
