A Grandmother at 37.

Congratulations to Angela Rayner, Labour MP for Ashton-under-Lyne, who became a grandmother yesterday at the age of just 37. At long last, a genuinely working class Labour MP rather than the privileged, out of touch impostors like Jeremy Corbyn and Emily Thornberry, who have no experience of the issues poorer people face every single day. This is certainly not true of Angela Rayner who was a single teenage mother on a council estate in Manchester. The last time Labour had a decent percentage of working-class MPs was probably when this record was in the charts. But now that baby can grow up and say that Labour, in Ashton-under-Lyne if not in Islington, really are Grandma’s party.
