Angela Rayner

[tommy toes]

Met her tonight at a Labour Party do in Bentley.
No wonder she's where she is.
What an inspirational, friendly down to earth, ordinary, exceptional woman she is.
Don't think I've ever met someone with such presence in my life.

It's alright talking about Bentley, I wonder what reception she'd have got in one of the poor areas of Donny?

[SydneyRover]

She is a great achiever and managed all the setbacks, brickbats, false claims and misogyny.

Guess who said this: ''I would hope it wouldn’t be the witch that is Angela Raynor.
She WOULD be a dictator''

[SydneyRover]

It just shows the casual abuse that women are forced to endure no matter their role in life.

[tommy toes]

Yes Syd.
She's one hell of a strong woman to rise above it and not be fazed by abuse from Boris et al.

[SydneyRover]

Julia Gillard while PM had to suffer this shit too. It created a whole campaign around her of misogyny and abuse.

From a prominent right wing media personality:

''Alan Jones suggests throwing Julia Gillard "out to sea in a chaff bag"''

[TommyC]

I shared a train carriage with her and her protection officer yesterday morning on the way back up from London. There were only about 5 of us in the entire carriage.

She takes six sugars in her coffee and has four laptops because she loses them when she's "really drunk". She's down to earth, I'll give her that.

Syd, in life people get abuse.
It can be as hurtful for a man to get abused sometimes.
It doesn’t make it right though.
Who was it that called the Tory’s scum?

[SydneyRover]

quick look over there

[Colin C No.3]

In my opinion she’s a ‘natural born’ leader for the Labour Party.

Hound, she mentioned a few things  that she's had to put up with from some of those Tories, especially the mop headed former leader, so calling them scum is pretty mild in comparison imo.
No wonder she has a minder.

[Branton Red]

She ...... has four laptops because she loses them when she's "really drunk".

And you're IMPRESSED by that?!!

To me she sounds like: -

a) a complete moron
b) a major security risk

[tommy toes]

You've got your Tommy's mixed up.
The other one isn't.

And she apologised, whereas the little fella hasn't shown any remorse and tries to deflect.

Nope.

Tommy C feels that someone getting really drunk so seriously that they lose £100s worth of computer equipment and so regularly that they need 4 laptops just in case is "down to earth" - which I read as a complement for a senior politician.

I disagree.

I disagree.

What good would 4 laptops do if only one had data?

[tommy toes]

I think if you ask Tommy C he'll say it wasn't a compliment.
She was probably joking anyway.

[SydneyRover]

That one

[TonySoprano]

As a hard Working father I couldn't ever imagine voting in someone with socialist views like her.
It's about time someone stood up for the middle class.

Tommy, the way things are going I would think that all MPs will need a minder.
It isn’t great is it when they have mobs outside their front doors and when people are suggesting shooting them, not just high profile people suggesting it either. I have seen it on this forum.
As for Boris, well he did go OTT too often so invited criticism.

[belton rover]

I don’t know what Raynor’s ambitions are, or how she’s seen within the Labour Party, but I’d much prefer to see her as leader than Starmer.

[Sprotyrover]

I think we would have heard about her excessive drinking if it were true!

This is interesting, also quite a few stories about a 12 hour Binge in Spain, might be modelling herself on Winston Churchill !

[BillyStubbsTears]

I think we'd have heard about her repeatedly losing laptops if it were true.

Tell me you, as a functioning human being, are not looking at that link and actually taking knowledge from it.

Please tell me.

[TommyC]

To be honest, I'm capable of separating the person from their views. I'd never vote for her but she actually came across as quite endearing and almost likeable in some ways. The laptop comment was said to her minder and it wasn't a joke. And before I get accused of ear-wigging (which I was) they were at the table right next to me so it was impossible not to hear. She also expressed dislike for "that journo Charlie Parker" who has been "pestering Mags again". I think Mags is possibly the next door neighbour in the Council House saga and Parker is definitely a Times columnist.

It was an interesting couple of hours!

Did you get her autograph?

[drfchound]

Who knows whether it is true?

[TommyC]

No I thought about asking for a selfie though. Bottled it.

Plus, you wouldn't mess with the (female) minder.
