They might turn out to be secret racists?....Or is that not a bad thing?

Are talking about that completely unsubstantiated rumour from a school playground, 50 years ago? 😄

Because, by way of contrast, I am talking about facts from the past week.

Last week (2013 actually, but let's not quibble) or decades ago....neither should be in positions of power if either is an indications of their true character.......so I would be more than happy to see her not in this position.

Angela Rayner is the absolute definition of a shameless hypocrite.

She quit the cabinet in disgrace last year over her tax scandal, pocketed a £16,876 severance payment, and has now waltzed straight back into the exact same job.

And when asked to hand the money back? She refused point blank, defending it with the pathetic excuse that it was “a year ago”. Yes, Angela. It was a year ago. And now you’re back in the job. So give the public’s money back, you money-grabbing hypocrite.

Even worse, she has the brass neck to claim that unlike the Tories, she and Labour are “focused on delivering for the British people” and “not looking like we’re in it for ourselves”. She actually said that while defending keeping thousands of pounds she should never have received in the first place after returning to the same role within a year.

The sheer shamelessness is breathtaking. One rule for her, another for everyone else. Absolute brass neck.

I guess she fits well as British are the most evil people on earth and own India trillions.

MEET MIATTA FAHNBULLEH. The woman andy burnham just put in charge of the uk energy grid.

She has just been promoted to Energy Secretary. This is the exact same politician who previously admitted to a "systemic failure" under her watch that ruined over 30,000 British homes with damp and mould! 🤡

Her taxpayer funded insulation schemes were such an absolute disaster that they left thousands of families living in rotting, damp houses while fraud allegations swirled. In the real world, if you fail this catastrophically, you get sacked. But in the corrupt Westminster bubble, you get promoted to run the entire country's energy security, bills, and Net Zero goals. She only became an MP in 2024, yet the Labour elite have fast tracked her into the Cabinet to dictate how you heat your home. They are literally laughing at us. Completely sick of useless politicians failing upwards while working class families pay the price!

You must set aside her past failures as we work towards a more equitable society.

The British owe India $43 trillion. That will require a significant payment plan for the tax payers.

Ah yes, the classic: ignore the track record, focus on the demographics.

Unelected PM with no mandate.

Politicized waffle as usual.

"Unelected PM with no mandate": Not quite. While PMs aren’t directly elected, Burnham is an elected MP and won leadership of the Labour Party, which gives him a parliamentary mandate. This line’s more rhetorical than factual.

"Deputy PM convicted of fraud": Louise Haigh did resign under Starmer after disclosing a past minor fraud conviction (related to a false police report in 2014), but she wasn’t convicted of financial fraud or misconduct in office. She’s now back in a senior role—this is being misrepresented.

"Housing secretary who didn’t pay stamp duty": Angela Rayner was cleared of any wrongdoing over her second home tax situation. She faced criticism and an investigation, but no charges or resignation over stamp duty. Again, exaggerated.

"Education secretary on 'dog whistle'": Lucy Powell hasn’t said discussing child rape gangs is a “dog whistle.” That seems fabricated. She has, however, pushed back on how such topics are politicized, warning against stoking division without evidence—nuanced, but not dismissive.

"Defense secretary with no military experience": Wes Streeting has no military background, true—but most UK Defense Secretaries don’t. It’s a political, not military, role. This critique is more about ideology than qualification.

"Foreign secretary insulted our greatest ally": Ed Miliband did call Trump a “racist idiot”—but that was years ago, and he was correct:-) Water off a ducks back for politicians.

Stop with this "misinformation". You're as bad as her.

After buying the house with welfare money intended for her disabled son, she resigned, had to repay the tax and is now refusing to repay the severance she received now she is back in the job. The woman is absolute filth.

Angela Rayner tells BBC she will not repay severance payment

Powell already admitted what she did was abhorrent and apologised.

Watch: Lucy Powell apologises for dismissing rape gangs as ‘dog whistle’ issue

Burnham has so far made no comment on the boats crisis which tells you he has no intention to tackle it and is happy with the status quo.

That reads like a Fabian society wet dream to me
