Deputy PM Angela Rayner filmed raving in DJ sales space at Ibiza nightclub
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has been filmed dancing in a DJ booth at a rave in Ibiza.
A clip of the Housing Secretary was posted on Instagram showing her jumping, dancing and cheering in Hï Ibiza club as smoke cannons erupt and the huge crowd goes wild. Celeb DJ Denise van Outen, who shared the video, described it as a “surprise booth rave up with Angela Rayner“.
Ms Rayner, who has been known to enjoy 12-hour raves, boogied beside renowned DJ FISHER who blasted out a dance remix of Gotye’s hit song Somebody That I Used to Know. As the beat of the song dropped, the nightclub lit up with flashing lights as Ms Rayner jumped up and down in time with the music. She kept one hand behind her back and threw up the other with her finger in the air as she commanded the crowd.
FISHER, whose real name is Paul Fisher, put his headphones round the neck of the Labour minister as he laughed and hugged her. The Australian house and techno producer based in Los Angeles, who was wearing a colourful patterned shirt, sunglasses and bucket hat, was joined by the Government minister as part of his summer season on the Spanish island. His residency has seen him bring in a host of DJs across the summer to Hï Ibiza, a super-club with a capacity of 5,000 people.
Ms Rayner, who wore Labour’s iconic red to the party, hinted at her love of raving in an interview with the Mirror last summer. The politician explained she was wearing Dr Marten boots as she’d just got back from a holiday in Spain where she danced one night from four in the afternoon until five in the morning to her favourite club anthems.
And at an interview at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last August she said she was “proud” of her 12-hour raves. The politician, who is 44, said: “The girls I was raving with are half my age, and I was like ‘I’m a grandma’. I was proud of that. 4pm I started, and I got home at six o’clock in the morning when the sun was shining and I was like: ‘Yes, I can do it.'”
Ms Rayner said she drinks vodka during the raves. She added: “You’ve got to go with the music, the vibes. You’ve got to be in the moment and it takes you.”
