Richard Tice Toasted English Wine at a Westminster Briefing
August 18, 2026
Enjoy the heat, he said, while Rayner walked a street of nineteen burnt shells.

Richard Tice, you champagne uncle of British politics, really picked today to stand at Westminster and say when it's a bit warm let's just enjoy it. And if English sparkling wine gets better and better, fantastic, we can take on the French. You even admitted climate change is real before dropping that net zero has no proof it will halt it.
Meanwhile Angela Rayner is walking Quarry Park Road in Stourbridge past nineteen burnt shells from the fire that took a whole terrace in ten minutes, calling it like going through a movie.
The irony is almost impressive. You're out here treating warmer weather like a vineyard win while a street is still smoking. She's doing the obligatory sad stroll for the cameras. Both of you managed to make a genuine disaster feel like background noise for your own bits. That's not serious politics. That's just two people who forgot the houses actually burnt down.
