Rebecca Long-Bailey confirms her name is hyphenated

The former director of public prosecutions undoubtedly has announced that he is standing for the leadership. He is highly-regarded by both left-wingers and centrists in the party. As Labour’s shadow Brexit secretary, he played a key role in the party’s eventual backing of a second referendum. Before becoming an MP, he was a human rights lawyer - conducting cases in international courts including the European Court of Human Rights.

Slow news day?

We will sleep so much better now that we know this. 🙄

There really aren’t many things that are more pretentious than a hyphenated name. Rees-Mogg springs to mind..🤮

P-O-S-H 🥴

That’s made my day. Thank you

Good for her .

I thought it was Rebecca Long-Bailey? Well, anyway, I wish Hyphenated well in her future endeavours.

Provided Stephen Long-Bailey hyphenates his, what's the problem? If not, it's the propagation of a sexist construct.

And we wonder why people disengage from politics 🙄

How the heck is this news Fires, ww3, climate change and you poms argue snout the most mundane irrelevant items. Europe must be relieved.

Pretentious...moi!

You mean that thing between Long and Bailey is a hyphen? Who knew?

Wrong-daily

Who gives a rats ass? Is this news or a parody account ?

Thank god. Was wondering when she was going to confirm!

🤷‍♂️

Yep. I was losing serious sleep. It was really starting to get to me. I needed this to be clarified!!!

“Yes there’s a hyphen and oh by the way I’m going to abolish the House of Lords”

How posh🤢

Do we care? 😂

I’m starting to get the impression she’s a bit of a fantasist

And?

Really? I hadn’t noticed. 🤣🤣

Dreams of a double barrelled name . So gives herself one

Sorry what’s the relevance of this?

Glad to see top quality investigative journalism hasn't died.

Oh good. Thanks for that.

BREAKING NEWS

Must be short of news ......

Class system obsessed, UK

Well, I’m glad that’s sorted.

Slow day?

Is that because her parents weren’t married when she popped out, or her & hubby aren’t married - and can’t decide on a single married name? Or is it that’s double barrelled one seems so much more prestigious?

Jolly good show what. Fabulously spiffing

Slow news day

I wonder if hyphenation is a crime like ...er er...(the supposed) antisemetism. If so, I can just see the MSM headlines: 'LABOUR PARTY RIDDLED WITH HYPHENATORS-------!!! Sun reader responds to headline: 'Get these red, marxists hyping f$s out of our country now!'

This is news 🙄

😲-🙄. this-made the news. O my-goodness 🤦🏽‍♂️

Great news, I lost sleep over this.

Another one out of touch. I’ll be abstaining until labour gets their act together

What a relief

Re-Becca?

As opposed to be it being a descriptive. Rebecca Baaaiiileeey

🤷‍♂️

It’s a stupid name

😂😂 so?

When glad she cleared that up. Wait, I didn't read this article - did she use this opportunity to clear up her personal pronouns?

Of course they do, she is jeremycorbyn 2.0 That’s labour in opposition for well EVER Based on the groups name I'm guessing they are a equality seeking group and choosing a Labour leader based on gender is a dumb idea Labour in my opinion need to actual decide what they want to represent as under corbin they were the party of sitting on the fence

Labour leadership candidate Rebecca Long-Bailey vows to abolish the House of LordsFavoured candidate of party left says she would 'go to war with the political establishment' as leader Irrelevant, she’ll never be Prime Minister. I do wonder if the far left overestimates the British public’s appetite for such things, I’m not against having a second elected chamber, but I don’t think it’s a vote winning policy Holy Jesus...... This must be part of the new ‘argument’...? This vacuous individual is utterly incapable of winning an election.
