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.

I'd let angela worry about that.
She is far more qualified than any of us could ever hope to be. smile

You said it yourself OP this is a non-news thread.

Why the heck should the woman not enjoy herself on holiday?

You serious MissAdventure ? Not very sure what to say …. 1.5 million new homes are urgently needed. AR is tasked to see their supply. Or is she?

I would be interested in who took the video. AR must have agreed to put the video out there. So she must have imagined it would mostly do her image good. The only thing, lots of people in this country cannot afford to go holiday, let alone going abroad. I think she should have had this holiday but not put the video out there. It's a bit cruel to those struggling.

She's the new Dianne Abbott and it is so boring...

Oh come on, Dianna Abbott's IQ isn't in triple figures any longer, Angela Raynor is bright and sassy. And I'm not a Labour voter.

I’m sorry but when Starmer is telling us how bad life is going to get and removing the Winter fuel payment from thousands who really need it; I find her out in Ibiza paying 84.00 entrance fee drinking vodka and paying 11.00 for a bottle of water out of touch with what is going on in this country at present.

Many have commented "at her age". She's 44 for goodness' sake! Not exactly young anymore.

Denise Van Outen put up the video.

This is just the right-wing press desperate to denigrate a labour politician. Bit pathetic, really.

Absolutely

Poor woman is as entitled to a holiday as anyone else. And can spend her money on what she wants, whether or not some others can't afford to do that.

What a boring story. Politician at dance. Better concentrate on Larry the Cat for a good story.

I doubt if she paid to enter the club. She was probably on the list

MissAdventure Mon 02-Sept-24 14:40:24

I don't find anyone on here holding back on their holidays, in case someone else can't afford it, and neither did boris and co

For anyone looking down on AR for her perceived 'lack of education', just remember the disaster of a PM that was Boris Johnson, and the extremely elite education he was privileged to have.

JaneJudge Mon 02-Sept-24 14:47:24

Can you remember when he said she was distracting him at PMQs by crossing her legs? 🤔

I've no idea, as I don't spend hours ruminating about her, and imaginary news pertaining to her.

ronib Mon 02-Sept-24 14:51:47

MissAdventure well you seem to be spending quite some time demonstrating just how little you do know about her. Don’t you read the news? Housing targets were announced by AR. Surely that’s important?

MissAdventure Mon 02-Sept-24 14:53:51

No, I don't.

4allweknow Mon 02-Sept-24 15:00:54

I thought itcwas 19 year old who still went to Ibiza nit 43 year olds. May have been there with her young sons, hope they weren't embarassed by mum's antics.

It was all in the best possible taste grin

Apologies for the fat thumb errors.

MissAdventure Mon 02-Sept-24 15:02:27

She's probably young at heart, just like a lot of gransnet members are keen to say about themselves. wink

Allira Mon 02-Sept-24 15:03:16

You're not allowed to say that until you're at least 95.

JaneJudge Mon 02-Sept-24 15:03:28

I loved Kenny Everet 😂❤️

I’m sure her dons are embarrassed, it’s generally your own kids default setting 😳
