Tomorrow we get the 2.0 pieces: VINE: Stop moaning about being judged more harshly than men, Angela! You knew the rules. OAKESHOTT: Rayner is not working class. She has no class. PEARSON: Where was Rayner when Lucy was jailed for posting it's okay to burn hotels? DORRIES: My Stamp Duty Tax Hell!
Thanks for posting your support , AA. MSM are behaving like a pack of hyenas, as usual. Unbelievably vitriolic hatred being directed toward Angela.
I really don't see it. How can the beeb, in particular, keep running the story? She made an error which she's fixing it's nothing... Is it just flexing a muscle because you can? What is the point unless you have a political agenda? Bbc news is my grannies hairdressers, gossip, old tropes, unbearable
The weird thing is even in Stockport people despise her for being ‘common’ and not talking properly.
All over the country people still doff their caps* to the rich and powerful. *(metaphorically speaking)
From shoulder pads to 3 pads. (Apologies.)
Unrelenting
Oh, for the solidarity and mutual support of the sisterhood. Angela Rayner is clearly the wrong kind of feminist who doesn’t know her place.
Pochin & Jenkyns are still formulating their response … something like , ‘ A real lady would never behave like this .’
Or "if she really wanted to protect her child, she wouldn't have vaped in public".
Sue them for copyright when they inevitably nick these ideas 😁
As usual, Vine was turned off on the work radio within 60 seconds before the guys start swearing and throwing hammers at the radio.
I truly detest them all...we could always wait for the.. ahem..." Facts" to be established before listening to these witches!!
I remember the Tories being up in arms about Johnson spaffing millions of taxpayers money over his mates with dodgy contracts for PPI. . . Oh wait. . . No I don't.
ANY MAIL COLUMNIST How Keir Starmer's policies force good people to vandalise Rayner's flat www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...
Just people with genuine concerns
Stop giving them ideas
I am preparing the appropriate bingo card. I shall expect a prize when I shout “house”…
Is it reasonable to think that by the letter of the law she underpaid stamp duty but as she owns only one property the law doesn’t make sense?
If only she’d been leading lockdown parties she’d be a Dame now.
This issue of her staying in the nest house with the kids I too would have thought it OK. It reminds mo of a friend whose partner applied for his driving licence using her address. Although a single parent of 4 and working full time
Got to say I thought Natalie Fleet was pretty good on Politics Live when defending Rayner as a fellow, working class, female MP - worth a watch if you haven't seen it...
But Zahawi’s £6m tax avoidance was being investigated by HMCI, SFO and Cabinet Office in 2021, a full year before he was appointed Chancellor. Oh and then the £6k for heating costs for 1 year for his stables
I walked past newspaper stand this morning and actually felt the venom, the misogyny was almost palpable. It feels like anyone from a minority, or a woman, is back to being a target again. "Don't get above yourself". I thought we had matured as a nation recently, but how easily we fall back.
When the four most toxic rags in circulation run the same story, it's hard to not smell a rat! She's made a mistake and independent scrutiny will determine the actual facts, but these rags want to get to the 'kill' before then. It's their best chance. She's been a target for a long time!
It’s worldwide- think Jacinda Ardern, she and her child received death threats when she published her book.
It has been relentless lately.
If you were Labour, you would think that there's perpetual outrage across the press on even the most minor of indiscretions that it just melts into a constant stream of angry sludge. Why don't we drop some big bombs? like Leveson 2, media foreign ownership legislation, land value tax...
Don't forget Vine's 10 year old daughter was a director of his media company (tax arrangements).
