Angela Rayner is a gift that keeps on giving. It
has been reported in the press that when the Labour Deputy Prime Minister
visited Ethiopia in February, she asked if a private safari could be laid on
for her and included in the itinerary. Big Angie must think that she's the
Queen of Sheba.
The flights for Rayner and her entourage to East Africa are said to have cost the British taxpayer an estimated £20,000. Rayner's office didn't deny that she made the request but a source told the Times, "She was told that's not how things worked."
Questions have already been asked why Angela Rayner needed to go to East Africa. Rayner claimed that her visit to Ethiopia was intended to "demonstrate the UK's commitment to the region and promote ambitions for partnership and mutual economic growth."
Rayner is currently ensconced in a grace and favour apartment in Admiralty House, where her lover and 'soulmate', the former Labour MP, Sam Tarry, is said to be a regular visitor.
Rayner has come under fire previously for accepting freebies and hospitality from Lord Waheed Ali, when she stayed with Sam Tarry at Lord Ali's apartment in New York. Rayner said that Lord Ali asked for nothing and got nothing in return for the free use of his apartment in Manhattan.

Some might suggest that you are being a little harsh on Ms Rayner. The poor lady experienced a dreadful upbring, which too few of us have ever encountered. Inevitably, this must have distorted her perspectives on life and interfered with her capacity to enact a sense of equilibrium to her conduct. This is only to be expected from a person who has missed out on so much.
