We’re sick to death of Angela Rayner’s gobby, female working-class schtick.

Angela Rayner has hired a photographer for about £68,000 of your money to capture her in her role as the Deputy Prime Minister in order to boost her image. This follows reports that in the one and only sensible move of his premiership, Keir Starmer is said to be freezing her out. Long may that last.I never thought I’d say this, but the ghastly Rayner is making her predecessor as Labour Deputy PM, John Prescott, look like the very model of statesmanship and decorum but if she really wants to boost her standing with the electorate, here are a few hints.Do not accept gifts, including clothes and a trip to New York in a £2.5million penthouse, and then claim that you needed these boosts because you are working class. Others are all at it too, of course, see elsewhere on this page.Do not let yourself be pictured dancing in an Ibizan club on the day your party leader is issuing dire warnings that can be summed up as “we’re all doomed”, looking as if you are having the time of your life. Do not then try to explain this on the grounds that you like a dance because you’re working class.Do not trouser 48 thousand smackeroos on the back of the council house sale that may or may not have been your main home and then try to stop anyone else from doing likewise by banning the sale of council houses.And do not – allegedly – try to bend the rules in order to turn a quick buck.
