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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

Michel Barnier has just been appointéd Prime Minister in France.
Now there's a man that looks the part

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

Should we try pearl-clutching instead?

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

I don’t think everybody has got the joke!

Oh dear.

That fell flat 😂

JaneJudge Fri 06-Sept-24 18:07:53

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.

ronib Fri 06-Sept-24 18:14:51

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

Not in the clique, Casdon 🤣🤣🤣

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

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?" 😂

Casdon Fri 06-Sept-24 18:39:02

Not a clique MaizieD, just a bit of fun I think.

ronib Fri 06-Sept-24 18:44:59

Well it’s been great as I’ve had to rest my foot all week - and no I didn’t go dancing unfortunately.

Just a glass of NZ vino, Mamie
Cheers 🍷

No vodka here.
