Angela Rayner herself was not impressed with the Grimsby MP's comments
Following a successful relay through Lincoln over the weekend, the Queen’s Baton for the Commonwealth Games was paraded through the rest of Lincolnshire on Monday ahead of the sporting spectacle.

Geoffrey, 79, is one of the Magna Vitae’s longest serving members, and the RAF veteran reached new heights with the baton in his hand as he scaled Altitude 44 and rang the bell at the top of the facility before he was lowered down by a zip wire. He said: “As a Yellowbelly myself, I always love returning to Lincolnshire and especially today because we are able to highlight both the Commonwealth Games and Skegness as a fantastic tourism offering. It has been a pleasure to meet the Batonbearers, they are truly inspirational and pillars of their community.
Peter gives his time to the local triathlon club, and at the age of 69 he qualified for the GB Age Group World and European Duathlon Championships.
