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.

There have been some bonkers threads around this summer. I have sometimes been reminded of the response that used to appear on Mumsnet, "Are you on glue?" 😂

I don’t think everybody has got the joke!

Not in the clique, Casdon 🤣🤣🤣

Or, can't be bothered to work through ten pages to pinpoint it...

Are you pickled in vodka is my question?
And could you do a good day’s work on Monday is another?

The daily mail would have a field day if I was Angela Rayner 😂

Did you twerk or not, that is the question.

Go on, whisper, I won't tell.

Did you go to Ibiza, JaneJudge?
Angela Rayner is a grandmother 🤔
I'm putting two and two together here and making five

Ps what shampoo do you use?

What has Angel Rayner's being a grandmother got to do with anything?

What a very bizarre turn this absurd conversation is taking.

It's so absurd it's become like a Monty Python sketch.

Should we try pearl-clutching instead?

I've travelled to another country and returned home and this thread is still running about a middle aged woman who danced whilst on holiday

Beggars belief doesn't it!

Yet here you are - contributing!

Considering that GN has quite a number of members, it's hardly surprising that many will want to have their say on a controversial topic - which will generate further responses.

Isn't that how SM works? Or is there a prescribed limit to the number of posts on specific issues?

... anyway, it isn't about a middle-aged woman dancing on holiday - it's about snobbery, misogyny, and political point-scoring.

That's me told!

That's me told!

Now Nadine Dorries has disapproved of the Deputy Prime Minister's conduct, I'm all for Angela Rayner!

You have to admit, Nadine is a stranger to self awareness.

but not to red wine

Nadine Dorries took part in I'm a celebrity, get me out of here, whilst she was a serving* MP

*serving in the loosest sense of the word seeing as she spent more time on ITV and Channel 5 than she did in Bedfordshire. Nadine Dorries of Gloucestershire

She spent a lot of her time when she was actually in parliament writing her books ( or so I’ve been told…).

The lovely Bullingdon boys, a club for the privileged sons of the rich with members such as Boris, Cameron and Osborne. Their behaviour in restaurants, pubs and to people less fortunate is legendary as in disrespectful and boorish and people are worried by AR dancing in a night club. Really?

Ah, but you can be boorish, disrespectful, and behave like a hooligan, as long as you hail from the right class. And you're a man.

PS
People aren't just concerned that she was dancing in a nightclub, some (men) were very perturbed that she had the nerve to attend the Glyndebourne Opera Festival - obviously an event that is not meant for those who are considered déclassé.
