Angela Rayner ordered two beds costing £7k for her grace-and-favour Government flat
Angela Rayner ordered two beds costing nearly £7,000 for her grace-and-favour Government flat, it emerged yesterday.
The Deputy Prime Minister bought them in January, and they were installed on Valentine's Day.
Ms Rayner lives in Winston Churchill's old Westminster home, Admiralty House, which was originally built to house the First Lord of the Admiralty.
The person who coined the phrase champagne socialist did us all a favour, as did the person who coined the phrase prosecco socialist.
No doubt there are others, well suited to Ms Rayner.

A la Prescott, 'Two-beds Rayner' seems appropriate...
Why did she order two beds? If she wants to invite her chavvy mates around for a boozy weekend, why should the taxpayer pay for that? Also, when she is booted out of office, I bet she tries to take them with her.
I may have been hasty with my previous message as I understand the ginger growler is reported as 'having bought them'. No mention of any expenses claims, though I have my suspiciouns.
Would "slag socialism" be too harsh?
Prosecco socialist ... yes indeed.
Scrobs - yes, let's hope it catches on.
Penseivat - I don't suppose we'll ever know for sure, but it does seem likely that the taxpayer paid as part of routine upgrading.
dearieme - about right I'd say.
James - but in pretentious bottles.
