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.

Personally, I think she should have had a staycation and gone to Blackpool.

Fly the flag!! 🇬🇧

Cossy nope. She has a firm appeal to a certain demographic and she is definitely cultivating that - in much the same way as any politician does. AR isn’t targeting my demographic. Good luck to her. She will need it.

I expect so, with recommendations on suitable attire.
Stout walking shoes, and that kind of thing...

*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….

Johnson had a lot of holidays, and paid for by others most of the time according to press reports at the time.

Oh deary me, I have come over all unnecessary what a naughty girl!
Hope she enjoyed herself she has a tough time ahead.

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.

Exactly. Sunday afternoon must be very boring for some people.

Some seem to have a problem with dancing MP's confused. I seem to remember Theresa May was ridiculed for her dancing.

MissAdventure Sun 01-Sept-24 18:27:57

This reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket when she went sailing, wearing suitable clothes,of course smile

I am so childish.....and I have had a large glass of wine, in the garden, with lunch (excuses, excuses) but I initially read your name as Fart oo old. Sorry, I am identifying as a 7 year old boy this afternoon

I couldn't agree more ronib. smile

Me too! So childish 😂

buffyfly9 oh thanks. I have spent most of my day in a walk in clinic and this thread is just the perfect distraction….

Grannybags Sun 01-Sept-24 18:34:08

You mean to start a silly thread like this? I agree.

A VERY silly thread, obviously clickbait.

Nobody I know is getting hot under the collar about it.

Have any of you seen the video?

I have, it’s equally as embarrassing as Mr.Gove throwing moves on the dance floor a few years ago.

I have no problem with AR holidaying in Ibiza, although she probably shouldn’t t have been strutting her stuff in the DJ Booth at one of the most expensive clubs on the Island, a phrase often used on GN not good optics

Chocolatelovinggran Sun 01-Sept-24 18:48:23

I have been on holiday to places of cultural interest many times.
I have, also, been to Las Vegas.
Maybe I'm not fit to be a member of the ruling class elite.
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Well if I was in Ibiza , at her age, on holiday, I certainly wouldn't be thinking about my job, or give a donkeys' about
it either. Good job I was never Deputy Prime Minister.

TerriBull Sun 01-Sept-24 19:06:08

Well having seen the pictures of her dancing about in Ibiza, this is what struck me. She has an across the body lanyard thingy for her phone, what a good idea! I suppose Amazon sell them off to Google item, anyone else got one?

It is possibly why I was never Deputy Prime Minister. That and my increasingly childish sense of humour. wine

Lot of snobs on this thread

ronib Sun 01-Sept-24 19:53:32

I hope the younger generations won’t think it cool to drink neat vodka to twerk through the night? Definitely don’t follow our leaders ….

Nasty accusation, please define your idea of a snob ?

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