Classic implicit classism as well as sexism here. Bigger deal made because Rayner is working class. Risible.
🔴 Angela Rayner poses for British Vogue in an outfit worth £3,570 telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
As the article goes on to mention, the outfit was provided by Vogue; it does not belong to Rayner.

"The subject has not been this interesting since the car was invented," says @MrJamesMay.
He's not wrong.
All the pre briefing on the #AutumnStatement around tax cuts is a sure sign a spring election is being considered within No 10. 1/
Reality is most business would rather see investment in infrastructure, meaningful reforms to planning laws and a long term industrial strategy. All issues that the modern Conservative Party are opposed to. So instead they try and set political traps /
Something of a proud post to flag that my wife’s second book, This Child, is out, as is her new website. The book would make a great gift for any children in your life and can be purchased ahead of the holiday season. emilietheauthor.com #childrensbookauthor @PPublishing_UK

Here's the story of a battle between two men long ago whose consequences we're still living out.
It set us on the road to today's sewage system, where leaks are commonplace - in UK & cities across the world.
It's the most important story you've never been told...

NEW: we need to talk about the dire state of British transport infrastructure.
Of the 52 UK cities with 250k+ people, only 8 (15%) have a tram or metro.
In France & Germany it’s 80%, Poland is on 60%.
Even *American* cities are better served, and the US hates public transit!

I've received the first copy of my book, "German Baking"! It comes with different covers - for UK and US. The contents are identical. All measurements in metric and imperial/volume.
Bake-Off often took me back to my childhood, and my book reflects that.
Pre-order on Amazon!

For those wondering where the “straight flag” is. Gay marriage is recognised in 34 Countries. There are far more countries where being gay is illegal, than those in which same sex couples can marry. Does that not tell you how far there is yet to go? 🏳️🌈humandignitytrust.org/lgbt-t…
Looking at the slow reduction of inflation, collapse of house building, turmoil on mortgage pricing and rising interest rates am certain that the U.K. is in for an economic crisis in 2024 /
Would add that I think the U.K. will also see a personal debt crisis at same time - was in Westfield W12 at the weekend to pick up some shoes for one of the cc’s and it was packed with people spending. Is this debt fuelled? Would imagine so. #ukeconomy #inflation #economics
