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.

Which reliable witness reported that she was drinking neat vodka and twerking ronib? Do you think that could just be the vivid imagination of a tabloid journalist?

Gods job she wasn’t down the Notting Hill carnival twirking- press would have had a field day

Casdon general internet mostly from The Independent…. But it now seems the club AR visited is a known drugs den - so I think best leave it there.

As are most clubs in Ibiza, I believe. According to my lovely hairdresser. I am more of a glass of chilled rosè in the garden myself

I shouldn't imagine it is, particularly as nobody else can find it.

Yes I must say it’s entirely the wrong sort of information stream to follow when googling Angela Rayner. It’s really not helping my blood pressure Iam64

Where do you get your gossip ronib? I’ve no idea about dog baskets (didn’t know Angela had a dog) and I’ve no idea what pink coke is

Casdon twerking and neat vodka are not in my vocabulary …. In fact I don’t even know how to twerk. Do google.

Be careful is all I'd say... Some of my younger colleagues had a "twerking" competition at our Christmas party one year.
One of them had had an unexpected baby before the next party.
She blamed the twerking. Just saying... 🤨

MissAdventure Sun 01-Sept-24 21:49:09

Did she take her dog on holiday, then?

MissAdventure Sun 01-Sept-24 21:48:26

I've only ever seen the white variety... sniff!

ronib Sun 01-Sept-24 21:46:12

Not forgetting that AR likes to get her visitors so drunk that they sleep in the dog’s basket Iam64 and what is pink coke?

MissAdventure Sun 01-Sept-24 21:42:47

Now then MissAdventure, don’t be going all ironic about this truly shocking behaviour from Angela. Remember, nothing she ever does is within a Mile of being acceptable. She’s no better than she ought to be, twerking and drinking neat vodka. And in a club on an island with a rep for drugs - as ronib concluded - say no more
😆🌞

Either I’m not making myself clear or you’re misunderstanding what I’m asking ronib. Given that it categorically does not say in the Independent that she drank neat vodka or twerked, which specific website or publication did you pick that information up from? I’m trying to establish whether you are quoting from a reliable website - if you don’t have a source, what you’re doing is repeating gossip.

MissAdventure Sun 01-Sept-24 21:35:26

I can't see anything at all on the Internet, apart from that she stood behind the dj and played a song.
Repeated ad nauseum across the reports.

MissAdventure Sun 01-Sept-24 21:33:31

I expect she fits the drugs in with her porn film lifestyle, and fraudulently buying her council house.
Busy lady!

All I’d like is for you to tell me what your source was ronib, I’m not asking you to twerk!

ronib

Casdon well let’s just say that I won’t be having any drinks with AR…. She seems proud of her ability to get her guests to end up sleeping in the dog’s basket.

Why not tell us where exactly the information you quoted came from though ronib, or say that neat vodka and twerking were your own words?

GrannyGravy13 Sun 01-Sept-24 20:54:55

ronib if I could drink an entire bottle of vodka in one go I imagine I would be dead by the following morning.

I do like a glass of wine or an occasional vodka and tonic, but always responsibly.

I don't vote Labour or Tory but nor do I frequent art galleries and other such things except under duress. I much prefer dancing, even at 72, and I prefer gin - which we used to call "Mothers' Ruin" for obvious reasons.

I'm a northern girl and working class (whatever definition that is these days) and I admire her for what she has achieved so far in life.

Don't also forget that she's just fought a general election and that takes a lot of energy, time and stress, so she deserves a holiday where she can let her hair down. Leave the woman alone - the remarks aren't even worth making.

Well said!

Keep on dancing Ang, but keep your smartest moves for those opposite you in the HoC.

Your OP is absolutely fine, Babs03 and not at all disparaging of Angela and, as this has been in the news, I think it's fair to think we can discuss this.

Casdon reported in The Independent. Also vivid description of a cocktail favoured by AR called ‘Venom’.
Not getting the best vibes so far …..

Read it again ronib, it says that she drank vodka. It doesn’t say that she drank neat vodka.

‘Asked whether she had managed it “with or without chemical support”, Ms Rayner reportedly said she just drank vodka,’.

It’s very easy to misrepresent what people say. Wherever you read that she drank neat vodka, it wasn’t in the Independent. Not that I care whether she did or not, she was on holiday. I can’t imagine it would be a story at all though if you were talking about a male politician drinking neat whisky, would it?

In AR’s defence there is nothing wrong with neat vodka if it is a good quality one.

My preference would be Black Cow.

Vodka 🤮
Sorry.

Surely she drank gin?
