Have to say this sounds like a non news story but it seems some are getting hot under the collar about it. Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with a young woman like Angela enjoying a holiday in Ibiza and dancing in a nightclub. She wasn't doing anything wrong.
I like the fact that Angela is from a working class background in the North, the same as me, it makes her far more in touch with those who feel that politicians recently are on another planet. She also has fire in her belly and God forbid a love of life. Reminds me of a young Barbara Castle.
Keep on dancing Ang, but keep your smartest moves for those opposite you in the HoC.

I don't understand the problem. Why shouldn't she dance on holiday? Poor thing. Fancy making a fuss about this

This is just the right-wing press desperate to denigrate a labour politician. Bit pathetic, really.

The previous thread on Angela Reyna did not do well..

Ridiculous letting off steam and enjoying her holiday disgusting! 😂she’s a girl from the north and boy can we party! 😉

I'm shocked! Dancing in a night club. How awful!😀

Good for her! I’m glad she has had a proper break from all the serious stuff.
So fed up with our press, always ready to make a snide comment.

babs03 Barbara Castle was my uncle’s MP. He was a card carrying Tory but thought she was wonderful!

Good for her for enjoying herself on her holiday. Why on earth shouldn’t she? As others upthread say, she hasn’t done anything wrong (or is having a dance on your holiday at a nightclub illegal now 😂😂).

Astitchintime Sun 01-Sept-24 16:40:35

Can't win can she??? If a journalist spotted her sunbathing (she would be risking skin cancer) or sightseeing (she could be at risk of getting lost) or simply having a drink in a bar (she might get her drink spiked), they would make a sensational story out of it. FFS leave people alone!

Grannybags Sun 01-Sept-24 16:42:35

Tut tut disgraceful behaviour!! 😂

nanaK54 Sun 01-Sept-24 16:43:14

Good for her, I hope that she had a wonderful holiday!

M0nica Sun 01-Sept-24 16:45:28

What a lot of fuss about nothing. She goes to Ibiza and lives it up. I go to a gite in France. So what?

She's even older than my DD.
Shocking.
She sang too, didn't she? 🎵🎶🎵🎶

I hope she wasn't seen having an alcoholic drink.

Angela Rayner holds the second or third ? highest political position in the UK. Maybe she will fill the John Prescott role in government in time. Some might think AR doesn’t have the gravitas needed for her role and twerking in Ibiza is not a good look. I think AR serves as a bit of a distraction to take the heat off Starmer and Reeves. So useful.

She'll have to learn to throw a punch first.

Indigo8 Sun 01-Sept-24 16:53:57

Why is the press on her case about this? Can't she do as she likes on holiday? Come to think of it, can't she wear what she likes too? As long as what she does on holiday and what she wears are legal is it anyone's business.

I agree this is non news as was the green trouser suit that caused such a stupid outpouring of venom on GN a short time ago.

She's the new Dianne Abbott and it is so boring...

Oh c’mon, because Angela is a good looking young woman she has to merely be a distraction. Have you ever heard her go for the jugular in the HoC, she knows her stuff and has got where she is on merit, indeed would say that she would have had to fight harder than all the male Oxbridge types to get where she is.
All power to her elbow.

Fiddling while Rome burns comes to mind. i.e. Dancing while Great Britain burns.

I thought they would be too busy sorting out the country's problems instead of going on holiday, they have only been in parliament for a few weeks and now get a holiday. Give me a break.

ronib Sun 01-Sept-24 17:00:04

Babs03 her holiday in Ibiza is the distraction not her!!

ordinarygirl Sun 01-Sept-24 17:00:07

She was fully clothed, no record of swearing ,no testing of her eyesight
so what is the problem

Allira Sun 01-Sept-24 17:01:03

She'll come back refreshed and ready for the fray!

Actually is a recess until government go back to work next week. However, Starmer and the cabinet etc., haven’t had the usual long summer holiday, Starmer in fact hasn’t had a holiday at all but others have been allowed a week or so off. Seems fair to me.

Well let’s just say Ibiza is not an aspirational destination for a member of the ruling elite?
