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.

It been the annual recess, as is usual.

Lucky she has confined her partying to time off, I guess, considering the last lot.

MissA you’re spot on of course. But Some Posters only want scandal, gloom or outrage so far as the current lot are concerned

IOMGran ask away - I don’t need to say! My family are so very hard working that I can’t imagine them dipping out in the first two months. It’s probably why DH earns more than the pm ….

Ooooh, How fascinating. I notice you don't though.

Iam64 well it’s so difficult to find any real information about the event. All I know is that there are some very committed professionals who would find it difficult to dance away for 6 to 8 hours through the night and still have enough energy to do a very good job on Monday. But then they are probably not reliving their teenage years. They are the grown ups in the room?

IomGran I don’t need to….

Has your husband not got much stamina?
What a shame.

Just done a quick google and both me and my DH exceeded that amount in the run up to 2020 when we consciously decoupled from full time working. Do we get a gold star and a free pass to Ibiza?

MissA best not ask.

Iam64 Sat 07-Sept-24 17:53:05

No one in my immediate family earns more than the PM, despite us all being ‘so very hard working’.
This isn’t a problem for us by the way. One of my sons in law is doing very well with his business. We all hope that continues and profits increase but I can’t imaging any one feeling smug if he ever earns more than the P
M which I find a very odd thing to compare success with

Well stop dishing it out.

ronib Sat 07-Sept-24 17:54:10

IoMGran well the country doesn’t need you or your husband so why not?

Iam64 Sat 07-Sept-24 17:54:37

Yes IOMGran - Ibiza it is , do nt forget to pick up the duty free vodka at the airport

ronib Sat 07-Sept-24 17:57:01

Ism64 not smug - more amazed than anything.

Honestly, it would have been far cheaper to wait until she was back at work, send an intern to the off-licence with a suitcase for the booze and have a party in No. 10 garden.
Waste of money going all the way to Ibiza imo.

Gransnet never ceases to amaze me.
It's part of what draws me back...

Allira Sat 07-Sept-24 17:59:27

I am very amazing 🙂

MissAdventure Sat 07-Sept-24 18:01:26

You certainly are. smile

Allira Sat 07-Sept-24 18:04:11

Thank you. So are you 🙂

MissAdventure Sat 07-Sept-24 18:05:36

Very nice of you to say so.

I’ve clicked. What ronib is doing is trying to mitigate the Johnson holiday excesses. Angela Rayner has a very, very long way to go to equal his record, and I don’t think there’s a question about whether she paid for her own holiday or a rich mate gave it to her so far though. For the record, he went to the Caribbean less than a month after the 2019 election.

ronib Sat 07-Sept-24 18:10:02

CasdonBoris Johnson is old news. I will never forgive him for the mess he’s caused. I really had hoped for better from a socialist government - but then I made the mistake of believing them for five seconds.

MissAdventure Sat 07-Sept-24 18:12:41

Ah, something we can all agree on.
I doubt there's anyone who could forgive Boris and co.

Or even a Russian - friend of the KGB

Casdon Sat 07-Sept-24 18:27:24

ronib, I can’t think of any reason other than a comparison, or an irrational dislike of Angela Rayner that has led you to make such cruel and untrue statements about her. You’re a one woman destruction machine for the poor woman on this thread - it’s weirdly obsessive.

Even I, a teensy bit older 😂😂😂 than Rayner, could party on a Wednesday and be fine the following Monday.

I have no idea (actually, Casdon has nailed it) why you keep implying she was partying the night before she had to go to work - it’s not true, the video clip is as posted at 4am on Thursday 29th August.

She had been working on that Wednesday, btw, finishing around 6.30pm, judging by other social media accounts.
