Farage can’t resign as he doesn’t have a ministerial position. What are you on about?

Poor shmmeee is going to be crying in a minute according to the BBC….

Resign from what?

I assume it’s just for ministers?

It’s not evil. It’s an attempt to mitigate tax liability through a trust. Ironically something Rachel Reeves is trying to stamp out. The taking money out has everything to do with it as it immediately becomes a ROB

She took £165,000 out of the trust for her own personal use

How is it fraud? Are the police investigating. Playing the disability card as a reason for buying a second home and not declaring it is very desperate.

I don’t even mind Rayner but there’s no going back if you make a stand on demanding others resign for tax indiscretion. There’s no sliding scale either - you try and avoid it or you don’t. It’s no different to Dianne Abbott and the private school shambles. She dug herself deeper and deeper and...
