While many people defended her, others, including former Conservative MP Nadine Dorries, criticised the UK’s Deputy Prime Minister.Dorries wrote an op-ed in the Daily Mail in response to the footage, saying: “How ill-judged of Angela, how utterly adolescent of her – to have thought it was a good idea to party like it’s 1999 when she’s the Deputy Prime Minister.”And now Rayner has defended herself, telling Sky News that she was on holiday. “I take my job really seriously,” she said. “I’m always in Parliament and I’m always doing what needs to be done, and I’ll continue to do that.“You’ve got to have downtime as well, everybody has to have downtime.
But I do take my job really seriously and I like to talk about what I’m doing to help other people.”She added: “I mean, you can criticise my dancing all you like, it is subjective!
Yes, I’m working class, I like a dance. I like dance music!”Rayner also discussed her friendship with Fisher, explaining that she’s known him for a few years and calling him a “really great guy”."Yes, I'm working class – I like a dance, I like dance music."@AngelaRayner and @KayBurley discuss the reaction to the video of the deputy prime minister dancing in Ibiza.https://t.co/xItZsH7tea.
