Angela Rayner dancing whilst on holiday in Ibiza

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

Ah, in that case fair play.

No not at all fair play. It’s politics.

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.

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.

They should not be having holidays after only being in office for a few weeks. They should be in their offices sorting out the mess they have got us into.

@bigbopper ‘they’ didn’t actually get us into this mess, did they???

Babs03 there’s a black hole to fill …. That’s the task in hand.

Good luck to her. I hope she enjoyed it.

I hope she has enjoyed her break good for her enjoy your couple of weeks Angela

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

Not sure what you mean. Are you being ironic or are you serious? Morlocks like me like to have things explained to them in simple terms.

Indigo8, what is a morlock?

There’s nothing wrong in her letting her hair, down & enjoying herself as long as when other opposition leaders have their breaks, you don’t all go into a meltdown

Why would you say that? Maybe not for Rishi Sunak but politicians like the rest of us are free to take holidays where they please!

Happilyretired123. Do you really think so? My impression of all politicians is that they go out of their way to cultivate a public image/persona. So Theresa May - walking holidays in Switzerland or similar. Cameron with Samantha in ‘nice’ places and BJ generally on holiday….

I might be wrong but I think they they were the morlock who lived underground in HD Wells time machine which was released in the 60’s I think ..

Who really gives a s*it where she goes and what she does?
I've never heard such worlocks in my life.

FFS can't the woman be left alone, as long as she does her deputy prime minister job well that's all that surely matters.

It is all that matters.

Angela is a young woman so a walking holiday in the Alps probs doesn’t appeal. When I was her age, many moons ago, I used to go on holiday to Blackpool, and I used to dance, as well as misbehave a bit.
Would complain if she started twerking or whatever they call it in the HoC, but in her own time, on holiday, not likely.

Give her a break! She isn't doing anything wrong or illegal, she's still a relatively young person, who had a lot of responsibility at a young age. She may even have Oasis tickets, definitely, maybe I don't think her downtime should be put under such scrutiny, she's entitled to a holiday not everyone wants to spend it in the same way.

Wow! Actually just wow.

To quote one of my fav ex tennis star, “you cannot be serious” ?

I’ll write to Ms Raynor and tell her now she’s an MP in power her holidays must comprise museums, art gallery’s, the opera, serious plays at the theatre, and walking around cultural Cities. No trouser suits either.

Tut tut Ms Rayner!

Is there a website “suitable holidays for serving MPs?”
