Just that really.

Agreed, Iam. People complain about the calibre of politicians, but it’s really not surprising that more people don’t come forward to serve their constituents- there are no depths to which the press won’t sink when it comes to discrediting them (particularly those on the left), and all too many people lap it up and revel in the gossip.

I wouldn’t be happy if my son and DIL had a porn channel or whatever this is, but there would be nothing I could do to prevent them, as they are their own people. We bring up our children the best we can, but they are their own people who make their own decisions, whether we approve of them or not. It would be different if AR were funding this enterprise, or if she had a role in the films, but there is no suggestion that this is the case. If what the son has done is illegal he should be prosecuted, but even if that happened it wouldn’t mean that AR should be vilified. It’s not her fault.

Iam64 I am seriously worried about any politician with family links to the sex industry and I don’t agree that this is an attack on Angela Rayner. Voters are allowed to form their own opinions about the sort of people they want in power over them. I happen to hanker after some return to normality in politics after the Boris Johnson era and so far it’s very elusive.

It's not a porn site it's Guido Fawkes on YouTube telling his readers about the site that Rayners son is on and no nor have I looked at a porn site perish the thought no thanks.

I certainly have no problem with resisting a peak of a porn site,
wouldn’t know where to find one

Anniebach don’t worry the porn account has been temporarily closed down. £5.50 a month subscription- even more than Private Eye.

Haha yes and I'm sure the usual suspects (the gransnet police) will be pummerling the report button so it won't be there long 😊

The level of sheer nastiness directed to Angela Rayner by a few posters here is unedifying. Attack her politics, criticise her political beliefs by all means.
She’s cleared of any criminality or wrong doing after a totally unnecessary police probe into the sale if a house years ago so let’s dig around for dirt on her adult son.

Anniebach Thu 30-May-24 08:13:37

Really ronib you have much knowledge of it

A porn account is now publicised on GransNet

*Casdon*Diane Abbott has very sadly had a very difficult time with her son which was published at the time.
I remember a very active press on Jonathan Aitken’s family life. The Blair and Cameron families have all had mention in the media.
I think that if any other politician’s children were porn stars, the media would be all over it.

I agree if it was one of Nigel Farage's offspring the left would have been all over it.

Nicenanny3 Thu 30-May-24 07:47:41

I couldn't resist a peek😁

Angela Rayner’s son, Ryan Batty, has starred in multiple porn films put on the internet site OnlyFans with his wife, Rayner’s daughter-in-law. The porn account is well-publicised on Instagram and Twitter – it’s been running at full “throttle” since 2022. Neither account is followed by Angela…

Anniebach Thu 30-May-24 07:44:22

Jonathan Aitkens godfather to Abbotts son was jailed for perjury

New births in Blair and Cameron families were mentioned,
nothing when Blair and Cameron were in office

Drink driving convictions, his "fullfact" writing about the SNP checked and found to be rubbish... by fullfact.org grin

Wyllow3 Wed 29-May-24 22:52:21

Guido Fawkes is one of the most nasty political blogs around. Been reading up on it and its writer Paul Staines.

Takes some reading but if you want to know -
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Staines#:~:text=In%20September%202004%2C%20Staines%20began,a%20fax%20number%20with%20Staines.

Stick to Private Eye...

MissAdventure Wed 29-May-24 22:44:58

Ah, it's on the guido fawkes site.
Must be true then.

Casdon talking of the norm is ironic. I don’t know of any other politician with children in the porn industry so it’s a bit of a first.

The only reason you don’t know is that the details of the private lives of other politicians adult children isn’t published.

MissAdventure Wed 29-May-24 22:42:24

Where is the info about Angela's son and his porn career, please?

Dinahmo Wed 29-May-24 22:35:51

ronib

Casdon good question. Have you had positive vetting? This is the future deputy prime minister and it’s not a good look however it’s spun.

Anyone remember Mark Thatcher? He apparently walk the straightest of lines. His mother helped get him trade deals with Saudi Arabia (I think that's the right country)

If it's true about AR's son and DIL there won't be a conflict of interest.

Casdon Wed 29-May-24 22:20:09

Are you thinking of USA ronib? The only significant thing I can remember about a politician’s child being reported in the UK was Mark Thatcher being lost in the desert, I don’t think it’s the norm to delve into the lives of adult children of politicians here.

ronib Wed 29-May-24 22:15:44

Casdon. Well family background has always been of interest when it comes to politicians. It goes with the job description.

ronib Wed 29-May-24 22:09:11

Slightly exaggerated AnniebachI don’t see any bile because of her childhood on Gnet. Her son and daughter in law are apparently porn stars. Where is the bile in truth? Their choice of career path.

Anniebach Wed 29-May-24 21:56:54

There was so much bile here on GransNet because of her childhood, please not because of her son too
