Saw Angela Rayner this morning speaking on Good Morning Britain. Apparently she is now the shadow First Secretary of State, an impressive title for someone who has risen through the ranks from humble beginnings. However, I thought she let herself down badly in this interview. She resorted to name calling and insults, calling Boris Johnson an idiot twice and a buffoon. In my opinion this is just not professional no matter how much she doesn't agree with his policies. I've always been a Labour supporter, but I just can't support this sort of behaviour. I don't think Keir Starmer would act like this and I'm sure he wasn't too pleased with her either.

She’s not wrong though is she? Quite restrained in the circumstances?

I don’t think I’ve ever heard Keir Starmer speak outside of Prime Minister’s question time?

You're right. She's hopeless

I agree grannyrebel and think she must learn how to speak in interviews ( being judged by the public) and leave the silly insults for when she’s chatting with friends and colleagues.

She is important in terms of bringing the labour party together though.

I thought she would bring a breath of fresh air to the Labour Party, but I’m afraid she has not impressed me. I hope she starts to learn quickly because name calling is childish when it comes from either side of the House.

I really do not agree with so many of the Conservative party’s decisions, and I was quite open to be swayed by Keir Starmer’s team, but sadly after a good start, I am still sitting on a very uncomfortable fence.

My post was a general one - making the point that some of the most disgusting language to ever pass a politician’s lips in oblivion comes from our PM ( he of the supposed best education available). He used the spaffing against the wall last year on national radio to describe money spent on historic child abuse enquiries- you know like the one that produced the report yesterday on the C of E and its failings,

Infighting = disagreeing. At least my posts are a contribution to the subject of the thread rather than an empty post which adds nothing.
