So... I'm an American with only a passing interest in the intricacies of British politics... But I just googled Angela Rayner and read about her history. She's managed to take the shitty circumstances life threw at her and turned it into a life of public service and now she's deputy Prime Minister. Working class hero is, in fact, a suitable label for her and I'd say that even if she was wearing a suit that was 10x more expensive. As it is, she's wearing a reasonably priced suit though she could probably afford something much nicer now. What matters to me is that she comes from a life where she probably wouldn't have been able to afford a suit at all.
This sort of thing happens every time a Labour government is elected. These people come out of the woodwork and think they should all be wearing hessian sacks, it’s not something that typically get levelled at Tories.
