Sky saying she has resigned her government positions and also as deputy leader.

The clever move, from the point of view of her own self-interest, would probably be to resign from that position but stand in the ensuing party election. She is supposedly very popular with the party members, in which case she would probably be re-elected. That would give her a stronger mandate...

From what I have read that was the purchase price paid to her by the trust for acquiring a quarter share in the Manchester house. It's not necessarily wrong but great care is required as a trustee cannot benefit personally from a trust. Dealings between the trust and a trustee would need to be...

The UNOFFICIAL breaking news is that Rayner is for the chop.

Probably not but I still think he will do well. At the start of the season I thought that, if he stayed fit, he would probably score ten goals. I now reckon he could get fifteen, which would be great for a midfielder.

I think he will see his contract with us out. If I remember correctly it is up at the end of the season. He can take stock then and see where we are and what offers come in when the end of season managerial merry-go-round starts. I reckon he will go if we aren't promoted but stay, at least for...

Scored for Belgium U 21s tonight.

Claiming, for council tax purposes, that the Manchester property was her main home and for SDLT purposes that it was Hove doesn't pass the sniff test, especially as it is likely to be the grace and favour apartment in London. "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive".

Shoosmiths, who set up the trust, are a large and very reputable law firm. I would be astonished if they didn't advise AR, as settlor, that she was deemed to have retained an interest in the property.

I told my wife the other day what I thought had happened and it is looking increasingly likely that I was correct. I reckon the Licensed Conveyancers will have completed the SDLT return and in doing so will have asked AR if she owned any other properties and she told them that she didn't. That...

They weren't solicitors. Raynor used a cheap, backstreet firm of Licensed Conveyancers.

When your own words come back to haunt you:

Absolutely! Torp didn't set the world alight when he first arrived but look at him now. Although, over the whole season, I expect Rudoni to be our best player I would say that Torp is the best so far. He's a cracking find for us. Give Brau a chance. I like what I have seen of him so far and...

Don't discount the possibility that she's both 😆

Quite. I find it astonishing that Rayner should have bought a second home, given her previous statements that buyers of such are pricing locals out of them market. Was ever thus with champagne socialists.

I wonder what Starmer will do now that Rayner has admitted underpaying her Stamp Duty Land Tax. He would probably like to sack her from her ministerial roles but he knows he can't remove her as deputy leader because that is within the gift of the party and not him. He supported her at PMQs this...

Best of luck with those. I hope you get the desired results 🤞

Quite, which is why I said, "I would be astonished if it was true." If you read what I said, I was merely trying to explain why a lot of people believed it to be true.

You must make a better job of timing your trips 😆
