Angela Rayner is a scrounger, grifter and shameless hypocrite.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

... what has she achieved?

Employment Rights Act 2025 for starters.

You can get a job like she has and not be seen as a success what has she achieved she hasn't been seen to do a lot with her power Andy Burnham seems more likely to be a sucess

You cannot get a job at that level without putting in the work to get there TakeThat7. Otherwise we would all have achieved the same.

Not doing so well at this scrounging lark, is she?
Having to work, as deputy prime minister, too at one point.

Labour are supposed to support the working class aren't they but conservatives brought council housing in and increased the discount which has changed people's life's for the better I thought Angela Raynor was over housing when she agreed to the discount reducing so quickly and quietly

To my mind, it is not Angela Rayners who is the scrounger, grifter and hypocrite of British politics. Nadine Dorries needs to look much closer to home. I do understand her choice of words though, as she’s employing the dead cat technique, much like this thread is attempting to do.

I quite agree Casdon

This has been covered in all the papers and TV channels and I have yet to hear anybody say AR deserves to keep it.

AR deserves to keep it.

You have heard it from several of us now.
...And, Nadine Dorries did not!

Nor me miss A

TakeThat7

She should pay back what she's not entitled to She made money on her council house anyway and then changed the discount available for tennants so they got less She didn't think like a labour rep low wages less chance of buying a house She just changed it

She’s nothing to pay back. She was entitled to the payment.This has been clearly explained several times on this thread. She bought her council house years before she became an MP and the changes the Government ( not her) made were long overdue.

Pretty impressive, I'd say.

Nadine Dorries that is...

Very successful I would say and more than Nadine Norris ever has and ever could achieve for sure.

Well, attaining the posts of Deputy PM and Minister for Housing*TakeThat7*. I think most people would consider that successful.

More success than anyone on this site, I'd think.

She is legally entitled, as are all under 65 to a severence pay equivalent to a percentage of the wage they earned.

Someone above said jealous of Angela Raynor's success what success ??

🤣 😂

Frankly, who really gives a silent fart about Dorries' opinion.
Not me.

So says Nadine Dorries who did hand back her severance pay of approx £17,000 whilst AR is refusing to give hers back. ND was given hers by mistake as those over 65 are not entitled to it but she did give it back.

This has been covered in all the papers and TV channels and I have yet to hear anybody say AR deserves to keep it.

Yes, Rayner is all those things. But the view of Dorries won’t change that. 🤷‍♀️

Thats just about sums up NN- she has every case to be jealous of AR's success.

Thing is though, ND didn't actually do that well as a politician.
She made a big fuss about planning to defund Channel 4, because she didn't approve of something they had broadcast. This was when she was Minister for Culture.

Her threats to defund just demonstrate what a pathetic Culture Secretary she was because C4 was actually self- funding so she could hardly defund them of their own ( not public) money.

I wonder if Dorries wants to be the ‘ girl from a poor background who has done well in politics’ and is peeved that Rayner is the ultimate success story in that sphere?
