Angela Rayner has, while slapping down the glorious leader for his handling of the Diane Abbott selection, sided with him in the Labour frontbench faction. She says “I am a socialist…I believe in the collective good.” She drags the unwilling Shadow Chancellor down with her…
“Rachel is a socialist but she describes herself as a social democrat. If you asked her what that meant to her – I am pretty certain she would say what I just said to you.”
Reeves was insistent this week that she is no more than a social democrat. The socialists are trying to take over…
Internal divides continue to roll on within the Labour Party over the Corbynista cull fallout. Deputy Leader Angela Rayner has now come back swinging against Starmer, telling The Guardian that Diane Abbott has not been treated “fairly or appropriately” by some Labour colleagues and should be allowed to stand again for the party. Some united front…
Rayner has always claimed that questions asked about her living arrangements were an invasion of her family’s privacy. She said to a room of journalists: “My family deserves some privacy.” Guido’s not convinced her family’s on board with that- some of them have their own “position”…
Angela Rayner’s son, Ryan Batty, has starred in multiple porn films put on the internet site OnlyFans with his wife, Rayner’s daughter-in-law. The porn account is well-publicised on Instagram and Twitter – it’s been running at full “throttle” since 2022. Neither account is followed by Angela…
Rayner doesn’t have a publicly stated position on sex work, or choking for that matter. Guido wonders why…
In a gushing interview five days ago with The Mirror Rayner said: “I’m fighting this election for my kids… Cultural experiences and places where people can have fun I think are really important.“ Are these the “cultural experiences” she had in mind?
Co-conspirators can enjoy the films for themselves. You only have to spaff £5.50 a month…
UPDATE: The OnlyFans and Twitter accounts have been taken down within a matter of minutes of this article going to pixel.
A GMP spokesman says:
“Following allegations about Angela Rayner MP, Greater Manchester Police has completed a thorough, carefully considered and proportionate investigation. We have concluded that no further police action will be taken.
The investigation originated from complaints made by Mr James Daly MP directly to GMP. Subsequent further contact with GMP by members of the public, and claims made by individuals featured in media reporting, indicated a strong public interest in the need for allegations to be investigated.
Matters involving council tax and personal tax do not fall into the jurisdiction of policing. GMP has liaised with Stockport Council and information about our investigation has been shared with them. Details of our investigation have also been shared with His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC).“
They wrote to James Daly MP prior to this:
“Dear Mr Daly,
Further to our previous correspondence regarding the allegations against Angela Rayner MP, I am writing to let you know that following a thorough investigation, Greater Manchester Police has concluded that no further police action will be taken. Information about our investigation has been shared with Stockport Council and His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.”
GMP say that no further action will be taken, by them. Now to HMRC and Stockport Council…
UPDATE: Reports are circling that HMRC will not look into it.
Guido has obtained a leaked tape from inside a meeting between Angela Rayner and Muslim voters in Ashton-under-Lyne, held along with the recently ennobled Labour peer and former mayor, Lord Khan of Burnley. As George Galloway keeps up his campaign to remove Rayner from the seat by weaponising the Muslim vote, the deputy leader pleads for their support and says she only won the seat in the last election thanks to them:
“2019 was a very difficult year in Ashton. My voters were very upset with the Labour Party: I was with you and you saw me over the line. You supported me. In seats that are similar to mine people lost their seat – you were there for me and I don’t believe I could have done that without you.”
Rayner goes on to try to convince the community to lend their help by stressing that Labour and she personally can be trusted on Gaza and that the fault for the lack of a ceasefire rests on the “international community”:
“If me resigning as an MP now would bring the ceasefire I would do it… we can’t affect anything when we’re not in government. I’ll be honest with you, if Labour get into government we are limited… Biden who’s the US who has way more influence has only got limited influence in this. And Qatar, Saudi Arabia, all of these people we are all working to stop what’s happening at the moment – we want to see that, so I promise you that’s what we want to see and if Labour get into power we will recognise Palestine.”
She puts her own spin on Starmer’s line last week that Palestine should be recognised at some point “as part of a peace process”:
“I will push to recognise it: there is nothing to recognise at the moment, sadly. It’s decimated. We have to rebuild Palestine, we have to rebuild Gaza.”
That’s a justification for Labour’s current policy to push for recognition after a deal is secured as opposed to before. Is “there is nothing to recognise” the official Labour line?
Rayner’s chosen an easy enough crowd primarily made up of Labour Party employees to grace TV screens again. Rayner says Labour is presenting “tangible, deliverable” pledges – though without numbers or detail. She goes on to say “Me, Keir, and the rest of this changed Labour Party” care about the public. Can we expect her to sit down for an interview today?
Reacting to the news of Jenrick’s sacking at a press conference in Fife, Nigel Farage said:
“I’ll give him a ring this afternoon. Might even buy him a pint.”
