In before the inevitable Tory screaming about her language being divisive.

Ah, going after someone’s appearance. Stay classy Rayner. Awful person.
He should buy some implants, sorry inserts, then.
If you take the low ground then you will get sniped. The Tories are awful enough without resorting to attacking things they can’t change.
What is it about Rayner that sends the right into an absolute gnashing frenzy?
Shouldn’t the hypocrite be keeping her head down after the revelations about her corruption
Why attack him for his appearance when there is so much about his policies that can be attacked?
It was just as stupid when Cameron attacked Corbyn for his tie or the jacket he was wearing.
Is she actually wrong? I would definitely call him a loser. He lost the leadership election. He is losing in the polls.
I like Angela Rayner a lot and respect her but I do wish she’d not do things like attack someone’s appearance or shout Tory scum. Apart from being out of order, it is a PR own goal with the right wing press in this country
What an awfully silly thing to say, I just don’t abide by attacking people over physical traits they cannot change.
Didn’t they attack her for being a woman with legs?
Rishi is taller than average for someone of his Punjabi-Indian heritage. So he’s not actually small, he’s just an ethnic minority which makes this a pretty racist comment.
He is a little fuck-weasel, though.
All the things she could criticise him for and she goes for a personal attack on his appearance.
Rayner is one of the dumbest, worst politicians ever to plague this country.
Wow, right wing snow flakes getting annoyed. She was totally correct in calling them scum before, JUST FOR A SECOND, look at what they have done to this previously incredible country. We tolerate their client media, non doms, billionaire tax dodgers, etc etc…….but a working class woman they’ve tried to demonise fights back, ffs. Good on her.
Insulting someone’s height? That’s not really acceptable. We aren’t allowed to insult weight or skin colour, so why is this acceptable?
Why do leftists always resort to childish insults on peoples looks whilst telling everyone to be accepting?
He is an obnoxious little weed, always spouting off about Rwanda while the people fall into poverty.
lol I love how Tories lose their minds when someone uses a rather timid insult against them
That’s not on. I’m no fan of Sunak but attack him for his poor leadership, not on something that he cannot change.
Rishi has gone to war, we’re just not sure with who yet!?!
Err is this the same Angela who can’t decide where she lives so she doesn’t have to pay tax on a right to buy council house which surely she was opposed to anyway? Still it was only a £46k profit so that’s small change to an MP.
Does this just strike anyone else as incredibly childish?
That defence spending policy change is a red herring, as its to be completed by 2030. Its essentially an empty promise. It has no bearing on on current geopolitics other.
Every outlet has misleadingly headlined it as well as if to say it will happen in the short/near future.
This would be automatic sacking, removal from the party if it was aimed at certain other physical characteristics, double standards are the worst.
Didn’t Trump call Macron a loser? Is Rayner becoming Trump?
Ahh double standards, if she was PM and he was in the shadow cabinet insulting her appearance, he would get torn to shreds for being a sexist piece of shit who can’t debate on policies. Labour have this election all but in the bag, why both stoop low, and risk bad PR, to insult how he looks?
That and he’s a few inches shorter than Starmer, your own guy, so aside from the stupidity and the double standards, it’s also just self defeating and a bit weird.
I keep thinking I might vote Labour for first time since Blairs days, and then I remember Rayner exists…. Is she really the best Labour can do? Almost as bad as Diane Abacus.
