Winkgate: Moment deputy PM Dominic Raab winks at Angela Rayner and mocks her for attending opera

[KippyP]

It's amazing how much time they spend putting each other down instead of solving problems.

[jasonpoole]

That wink is to indicate to not take it seriously and buy u a drink after.

[chriswoollacott]

It means it's all an act and is being played out for the audience. They are battling like sports opponents who compete and then have a beer in the bar after. That's all. They disagree on their politics but who knows, they may actually get on OK on a personal level.

[alistairrobinson]

this is meant to be the highest office.... taken unsuitable

[thomasmadman]

Watching live, that wink was very funny, he was on top form today Raab was👌🏻

[magicwandfour]

She was at Glynbourne watching The Marriage of Figaro.. So is he saying that working class people cannot enjoy opera ? So much for Tory levelling up !!

[rossnolan]

Them two are like the perfect combination haha 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[monkeyboy]

There's a lot of winkers on the Tory front bench. Transport Secretary, Can't Shapps, is the biggest winker due to the travel chaos.

Was disappointed in Angela Rayner today. Too much "rambling on" in generalities and not enough focused questioning.
Why does the Deputy Prime Minister think that the people of Wakefield and Tiverton and Honiton voted as they did last week?
Why does the Deputy Prime Minister think that UK has lowest growth rate and highest inflation rate amongst G7?

[davehallam]

If and that's a big IF only they would ALL work together

[christinam]

Working class people can go to the opera.

[IanDarley]

She probably 'winked' at him first.

[annoyingbstard]

Angela Rayner at the opera? Why do I immediately think of Del Boy and Juney?

[hobikenobi]

He's not even looking at her when he winks. All the time he's speaking to her he's looking directly ahead as if looking at the viewer. Because she is straight across from him. The wink is well offside to someone sat on her left. You're all losing your heads over nothing.

Also, it was very funny.

Dommyrabby greatest waffler of bullshittery

[jimbob]

She did have a train to catch and in a hurry oh come on winking at Angela? Hey in your circles with the women that mix in them you might get away with it? No chance, in your dreams this lady would not entertain your sort I can assure you!

[Smellynelly]

Oh for god's sake, if someone winked at me like that, I'd take it winding you up, not phwaar I fancy you, geeze I'm getting sick of this, pc world we live in, when men must be careful with every tiny gesture towards a IM A WOMAN!!!

[affshasultan]

Winked cos he's too scared of his opponents and it's a tactic to calm himself down 🤣🤣🤣

[editorblip]

Just remind me - what year is this? 1967? It’s On The Buses

[jackcogi]

she managed to keep her legs shut for once wow
