William Wragg and Angela Rayner. Two Tales That Show How Class Is Still A Factor in British Society

The ongoing issues with Angela Rayner and Capital Gains Tax threw up some odd and unpleasant views of women, particularly working-class women. Several commentators focused on her having been an unmarried mother when young or flung words like 'chav' around. William Wragg has escaped such commentary regarding his social origins for the most part. I found the views expressed toward Angela Rayner that attempted to drag her social origins into the matter constantly or suggest she was a 'loose woman' rather odd. I'm glad Wragg has resigned at this point. Although the whole honeytrap operation does suggest how easy it is to be fooled by such things and how MPs need to both guard against this better and be offered better advice in this regard to ensure we don't get repeats of this sort of behaviour in short order.
