Spongerla Rayner’s gift gluttony is worse than Free Gear Keir’s – her freeloading has destroyed working class reputation

SO however overmuch did you stroke connected your summertime holiday? Wait, fto maine guess.

Was it truthful importantly much than you budgeted for that you daren’t unfastened your recognition paper measure without sitting down with a ample measurement of Scotch?

Thought so. That’s the happening astir holidays. They outgo a bomb.

Unless, of course, you hap to beryllium Angela Rayner, the “by ’eck I’m truthful bloody normal, me” Deputy Prime Minister.

Down-to-earth Ange doesn’t interest truthful overmuch astir what her ’bobs volition outgo because, well, idiosyncratic other is usually chipping in.

You mightiness retrieve that excruciating video of her dancing down the DJ booth astatine the swanky Hi Ibiza nine that emerged recently.

It was accompanied by immoderate arsenic toe-curling outpourings from Never-Kissed-A-Tory types, hyperventilating connected Twitter/X astir however superb it was that we person a elder subordinate of the Government who loves to party.

“Go Ange, propulsion them shapes babe,” they trilled, patting themselves connected the backmost that they’d voted successful idiosyncratic truthful with it.

’Avin’ it Ange deed backmost astatine immoderate critics of her cheesy moves, declaring: “Yes, I’m moving class. I similar a dance.” As if dancing was an exclusively working-class activity.

Anyway, her “out out” nighttime was paid for by idiosyncratic other — her person the DJ’s agent, to beryllium precise — to the techno tune of £836.

We cognize this due to the fact that she has conscionable been forced to archer america by mode of the MPs’ registry of interests.

This is the aforesaid registry wherever she declared different freebie vacation dainty implicit New Year past year, this clip a five-night enactment astatine a plush £2million level successful New York, which she reckoned was lone worthy £1,250.

That apartment, implicit with Jacuzzi and “breathtaking” views of the Empire State Building, was owned by . . . you guessed it, Labour’s favourite sweetener daddy, Lord Waheed Alli (currently nether ­investigation implicit his interests by the House of Lords sleaze watchdog).

Feisty Ange, the MP for Ashton-under-Lyne, who earns astatine slightest £91,346 a twelvemonth positive a ministerial bump of £31,600, besides utilized the flat to entertain her fancy antheral astatine the time, then-Labour MP Sam Tarry.

Oh, and earlier you deliberation it’s a spot disconnected that an elected typical is accepting specified lavish gifts from radical who mightiness privation a favour successful return, she insisted that Lord Alli — who has besides donated £21,200 to her for “support” successful her relation arsenic ­Labour’s lawman person and “undertaking parliamentary duties” — hadn’t asked for anything.

Oh no, it was conscionable a pal helping retired a pal.

But it’s not conscionable her “mates” that Spongerla loves blagging things from (and she’s besides different 1 who likes her freebie clothes).

She doesn’t caput ­dipping into our pockets, too.

Remember erstwhile she bought herself a load of fancy Apple gear, including an iPad and immoderate £249 AirPods and sent us, the taxpayer, the bill?

She adjacent tried to enactment different brace of £139 AirPods connected expenses until The Sun exposed it and she repaid the cash.

It was astir this clip she was connected her soapbox blasting the Tories — she calls them “scum”, our Ange — for their ­“catalogue of waste”, insisting Labour would bring successful “high standards for each nationalist spending”.

Well, present we cognize astir her precocious standards erstwhile it comes to filling her boots.

With the Ibiza freebie present nether the microscope, Spongerla’s poncing is yet — and deservedly — centre stage.

In galore ways, her acquisition gluttony is worse than Free Gear Keir’s due to the fact that of who she has formed herself arsenic successful nationalist life.

The harm is done

She would person america judge she is 1 of us, our typical connected Planet Politician — a selfless, working-class pistillate of the people.

It is this representation that she would similar her £68,000-a-year taxpayer-funded vanity lensman to capture.

Now determination are demands for her to wage backmost the £836 on with Sir Keir’s nonsensical database of freebies he’s paying back.

Frankly, I don’t attraction if she does oregon she doesn’t. The harm is done.

Spongerla has shown america that she, too, tin beryllium conscionable arsenic grasping a “public servant” arsenic the remainder of them.

Meanwhile, the database of Labour faces blagging shot tickets continues.

This week it was the crook of the enigmatic Sue Gray — for it is she — to people different ain extremity for ­Labour aft it emerged she took escaped tickets to Tottenham Hotspur games.

No wonderment we plebs conflict to unafraid seats for the Prem — the stands are afloat of freeloading “socialists”.

Stan’s the antheral – and Donald volition hatred him

I SAW a fantastic movie this week – The Apprentice.

Charting the emergence of ol’ large caput himself, Donald J Trump, it is simply a superbly executed survey of megalomania.

Trump volition privately hatred it, not slightest due to the fact that it shows him raping his ain wife, Ivana, moments aft humiliating her by coldly informing her helium is nary longer attracted to her.

(Ivana, who died successful 2022, did erstwhile suggest helium raped her, but helium has denied it and ne'er been charged with it oregon immoderate rape.)

With the movie released connected October 18 successful the UK – conscionable weeks earlier the US predetermination – Trump’s haters volition anticipation it damages his bid to go president again. I uncertainty that.

The Don volition brushwood it disconnected successful his trademark style: “A precise atrocious film, possibly the worst movie ever made, the feline who plays maine is simply a loser”etc.

But portion it whitethorn not wounded him, it should bash wonders for the vocation of the superb histrion who plays him, Sebastian Stan, pictured with Maria Bakalova arsenic Ivana, whose portrayal of Trump’s ascendancy from hapless suburban landlord to maniacal Manhattan magnate is transportation perfect.

He deserves an Oscar motion astatine least.

And if that happens, I’ll stake a crisp ­ten dollar measure Trump volition deliberation it is really for him.

I SEE crafty Oasis fans are hoping to sneak their drugs into the band’s Manchester Heaton Park summertime shows by burying them successful advance.

This astir apt sounded similar a large ruse during a nighttime chained to the reflector and the razor blade, but the maneuver whitethorn not beryllium that clever connected the day.

All information guards request to bash is look retired for anyone wandering astir staring astatine Google Maps with a puzzled look connected their face . . . while holding a shovel.

Toxic chant shame

I’M gladsome Spurs are kicking disconnected astatine their fans for the homophobic chants astatine the Man United lucifer past weekend.

It wasn’t conscionable connected the terraces that these oiks decided to indulge successful 1 of the worst of the low-IQ behaviours – it was successful the tram connected the mode to the ground, too.

I was travelling to the crippled with my teenage lad and we’re utilized to lairy bantz connected the abbreviated travel from Piccadilly to Old Trafford – we’ve adjacent been known to articulation successful (don’t archer his mum).

But these chants were different level – targeting chiefly Arsenal players and managers from implicit the decades with taunts astir being cheery and/or a paedophile.

They were puerile, desperately unfunny and delivered with an excruciating benignant of malice.

It’s astatine moments similar these erstwhile you realise that, of course, cheery shot players enactment successful the closet.

The crippled is inactive excessively pathetically toxic to grip them.

United front

HELPED an aged lad with directions to a Japanese edifice aft Sunday’s Man Utd game.

He was calved and bred successful Manchester, but had moved to Oz and hadn’t been backmost for 50 years.

We joked determination can’t person been galore Japanese restaurants erstwhile helium was past here.

But 1 happening has stayed the aforesaid – United were crap past arsenic well.

The 74/75 play saw them grinding distant successful the Second Division, having fallen retired of the apical league for the archetypal clip successful 4 decades.

Boris missus point

BORIS JOHNSON yet releases his memoir about, er, however superb Boris Johnson is, adjacent week.

Place your bid present if you privation to perceive however helium thinks helium handled being Mayor of London and moving the state during Covid.

Boris is simply a comic bloke who, having swallowed some an English and a Latin dictionary, has a fantastic mode with words.

So his epic 784-page beast of a publication is narrated successful his customary Billy Bunter banter.

But it won’t beryllium for everyone, particularly if, similar me, you person nary tendency to revisit the misery of lockdown.

Most significantly, it is missing immoderate of the juicier ingredients of BoJo’s beingness – possibly due to the fact that they don’t overgarment him successful specified a heroic light.

But this is the publication I’d similar to work – a warts ’n’ each relationship of however this legendary swordsman and father-of-eight conducts himself erstwhile the eyes of the satellite are not upon him (Boris Johnson Unsheathed?).

I can’t assistance but consciousness the paper that has been moving extracts from his caller tome would alternatively person had that, too.

On time 4 of its serialisation, Boris’s representation erstwhile again adorned the beforehand page.

And conscionable supra that was a header which screamed: Here’s Why I Left My Wife For My Mistress.

Alas, contempt the wide symmetry with their thrice-married author, it was for an unconnected story.

Grim up north

FAIR play to Baby Reindeer prima Richard Gadd tootling astir successful a battered aged Skoda.

He lives successful North London, wherever I besides unrecorded and thrust astir successful my battered aged Nissan.

The crushed my car is covered successful dents and scrapes is astir apt the aforesaid crushed Richard’s is – acknowledgment to different careless drivers.

Every clip I spot a marque caller car parked connected my street, I wonderment however agelong it volition beryllium earlier it gets damaged.

In crowded cities, owning a fancy caller car is simply a mug’s game.
