A former Ukipper trolled Angela Rayner in grim style and this response surely spoke for everyone
We have to confess we hadn’t previously head about Ernie Warrender, who it turns out is chair of the Alliance for Democracy and Freedom, which we hadn’t heard of either.
But Warrender has previously stood four times for election to the House of Commons for Ukip – we’ve heard of them! – and it might be all you need to know.
Well, that and this, his particularly grim trolling of new deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner.
Potentially your future Prime Minister. Does this really represent the UK? pic.twitter.com/8e50rzUHHl

And it prompted no end of totally on-point responses …
Absolutely, she represents me; I think she's great!

Seeing as roughly 51% of the UK is female then I guess she does, and “this” has a name
I’m not quite sure what point you are trying to make, is it her attire, background or sex ?
You could have just wished her all the best in her career or alternatively been quiet

What don’t you like? That she’s a woman? That she’s northern??

… but this person surely said it best.
Yes. Angela Rayner represents me. She represents my daughters. She is a role model and an inspiration.
And when you use "this" to describe her, it reveals you to be a classist and a misogynist – values that are no longer representative of th UK. Things have changed round here. https://t.co/jy3OLb6pXK— JustJane (@JaneRemain) July 6, 2024
Or maybe this person.
A working class woman having endured difficult circumstances, being pregnant at 16 and leaving school without qualifications, overcoming innumerable obstacles, and bettering her life to become the deputy prime minister, is a remarkable, inspiring story.
So yes. She does https://t.co/eSAPm8ziqO

Or maybe this!
Posting a photo of her undeniably serving and framing it as a negative thing is so funny https://t.co/lgignpqJvo
