I said ‘ irrelevance’ as I really don’t like her … One of my favourite Rayner snippets : Her childhood, she has said, was “full of fear”. She was a carer for her bi-polar mother, who would accidentally give her dog food or shaving foam to eat because she could not read the labels on the tins. Rayner has spoken about pestering friends to let her eat at their houses on Sundays or she would not be fed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 28-03-2024 at 01:18 PM. |

Surely it is between the council and the taxman.

Another Rayner track from her Best Of album
:: Getting down to business, Rayner tried a gotcha. ‘What is the average hourly rate of care-workers in this country?’ Easy for Boris. He trumpeted the virtues of the Tories’ national living wage. Rayner claimed this as a win. Hardly. She has two faults as an inquisitor. Her estimate of her own powers is exaggerated. And she can’t improvise new arguments if her pre-jotted questions become irrelevant. Boris was well prepared today and he gave long, meticulously detailed answers. Her dismay was palpable. ‘Oh. Has he finished?’ she said, after the PM had briefed the house about Britain’s top position in the European league of Covid-testing. The session turned into pure Alice in Wonderland. Rayner accused Boris of breaking promises which he’d plainly kept. She said he hadn’t got a winter action plan. He’d just announced a winter action plan. She said that 62,000 people were being tested daily. He’d said that 240,000 were being tested daily. She asked him to deliver a funding package for care-homes. He’d just mentioned a Ł600 million care-home package. When she brought up birthing women who miss their husbands, he said, ‘I perfectly understand the point she makes. And she’s entirely right.’ How to find fault there? ‘I’ll take that as a yes,’ she said sniffily. Boris clearly enjoyed being pelted with Rayner’s fluffy cushions . And his pleasure ought to have bothered her enormously. But it didn’t. After her sixth question, she sat down while Boris delivered a rhapsodic tribute to the resilience and good sense of the British people. She studied him throughout with shiny-eyed interest, smirking mysteriously and occasionally licking her lips. It was extraordinary. Her gaze deserved its own Oscar-winning sound-track – swelling violins, throbbing drums, a heavenly solo from a silver trumpet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Why would having a mentally ill mother be a reason to dislike her?

What's wrong with you?
What are you going to pick on next? Are you going to say her hair's too long for a woman of her age? What point were you trying to make by showing her tattoo? |

The idea that she wasn’t trying to either get Boris’s attention or simply distract him when she was crossing / uncrossing her legs ( session after session) directly opposite a lecherous guy like Boris is kinda cute Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Last edited by Zizu; 28-03-2024 at 06:36 PM. |

I remember my old boss years ago saying to me, "no-one has any respect for someone wearing a suit these days" .... This thread very much reminds me of that

Remembering Kerry

Considering Johnson wandered round with his shirt out his trousers.
Hair like a badly made bird nest. She looks very smart. However being fair to Johnson here, on the issue of the accusation of her trying to distract him. He himself categorically stated, that he disagreed with a lot Raynor stood for, HOWEVER he respected her as a parliamentarian and abhorred the misogyny being directed at her on this matter. So he thought it utter nonsense too. Last edited by joeysteele; 28-03-2024 at 07:44 PM. |

Your problem should be with said lecherous guy potentially getting overly distracted by a woman wearing a skirt to work, than the women wearing a skirt to work, which is completely normal

It was presumably a bit of both … so they’re both equally culpable. Everyone knows what Boris is like both she’s hardly a flamin’ angel ffs Five minutes on Google shows she’s spent the last 15 years getting her legs out at any and every photo opportunity .

Poor Angela.
She can’t do right for doing wrong. Nothing wrong with her dress sense, we live in the 21st Century, not the 1800’s |
