This is now old 'news', and was mostly the just the Daily Mail living down to their reputation.

From the article:

One MP said: ‘She knows she can’t compete with Boris’s Oxford Union debating training, but she has other skills which he lacks.

So, this is based on the stupid comments of one unnamed Conservative MP. Instead of discussing the comments by this unnamed MP, the DM uses it to disparage the Labour Deputy Leader.

"stupid comments" - I'm being kind. More likely, it reveals his (presumably a male MP) elitist views.

Since this, a Conservative MP has resigned after viewing inappropriate content while in the House of Commons.

Who are the cry-babies for you in this case?
Labour or the Conservaties?
The supportes of Angela Rayner - or the critics of Angela Rayner?
