Hardly good intentions is it, she got found out. Hilarious how people can defend it yet if it was someone else you’d all be saying the opposite

The true scandal might not even be the stamp duty btw. There's something potentially v dodgy going on with her house as the £650k valuation that was used to sell her share is close to double similar properties in their area.OK then tell me the difference between what Rayner has done and what Farage has done.
You think this is dull? Just wait until you hear of her expense claim for whitewashing the graffiti from her wall.This all very dull. Far more interesting when some filthy scandal. Fair play she did the right thing in the end, I mean the Tory fella drive 250 miles for an opticians appointment in lockdown so they are all as bad as each other. I don't care for the left or right to be honest so no agenda
More so than manyShe hung on for the week in the hope that it would die down.
Its Not exactly been honourable behaviour throughout the whole saga has it.
Gonna cost you guv/luvYou think this is dull? Just wait until you hear of her expense claim for whitewashing the graffiti from her wall.
That's a very low bar you've set there.She's a much better politician than the likes of Streeting and Reeves.
Labour members will elect a deputy leader so this is where things may get tasty. If they elect someone who is at odds with Starmer's government record so far, it will be a source of friction/rebellion.Wonder who Starmer will appoint for DPM to take PMQs when he’s putting the rest of the world to rights.
Yeah but now she's out and they're poised, can't see Rachel in there.She's a much better politician than the likes of Streeting and Reeves.
Just a slight whiff of irony when your profile pic is of someone infinitely more corrupt than anyone in UK politicsHardly good intentions is it, she got found out. Hilarious how people can defend it yet if it was someone else you’d all be saying the opposite
I think she'd jump at the chance - And leave the shit storm of the autumn budget to somebody else.Yeah but now she's out and they're poised, can't see Rachel in there.
The funny thing is, if it were a tory getting caught for tax dodging, you'd be the one screaming blue murder from the roof tops,They don’t care about the principle. They spent 14 years voting for the biggest tax dodgers around. They just hate seeing a working class woman do well. Private school boys only pls.
Rachel Reeves will be very lucky to hang on to her job after the next budget.Yeah but now she's out and they're poised, can't see Rachel in there.
Maybe she used the same people that Wasps used to value the stadiumThe true scandal might not even be the stamp duty btw. There's something potentially v dodgy going on with her house as the £650k valuation that was used to sell her share is close to double similar properties in their area.
She had zero choice on the matter, once her tax avoiding had come to light she could refer herself, or face the embarrassing situation of having the opposition do it for her.Angela Rayner resignation letter and Sir Keir Starmer reply in full
Rayner says she "deeply regrets" her conduct over Hove property, while PM says he's "very sad".www.bbc.co.uk
Self referred - imagine Johnson Hancock or Farage tice and Lowe doing such a thing no nor me

She said she did seek expert tax advice
Same could be said for any party currentlyI’d be ashamed to admit I even voted them, they are a joke

Met him a few times. Decent bloke.The field of competent candidates is a small one.
My money is on Pat McFadden.

Don't know him, but I have an image in my head of a cross between Eastenders character and actor - Pat Butcher and Steve McFadden. My headspace is a dark place where nobody really wants to be!!Met him a few times. Decent bloke.
More or less what Farage said on that clip of him I posted a bit earlier, he also noted that Labour will now need to have an election for deputy leader and that will result in some rather public in fighting. Though I do note the post was vacant between Watson resigning and Rayner becoming deputy leader so Starmer might just let that situation reoccur.The true scandal might not even be the stamp duty btw.

The fundamental difference is that in opposition, Labour made a play of how they were bringing back 'integrity' to politics. Starmer himself backed himself in a corner by saying he'd sack people on the spot for misbehaving. Rayner herself called for many, many Tory ministers to resign and constantly sung the 'one rule for them, one rule for us'... Well, time to practice what you preach.
Rayner was up to something, didn't seek proper tax advice and got caught out. That fact is somehow worse - it's incompetent.
The electorate can see Labour is looking to increase taxes so when a senior government figure plays fast and loose with the laws, people aren't looking at that too kindly.
In my view, this government will start to splinter because losing Rayner is actually huge loss for Starmer.

She had nowhere to go after screaming like a stuck pig at the tories over their dubious behaviour for 14 years.There are a few people seemingly struggling with this news, but this goes a lot deeper than left versus right or whatever.
The fact of the matter is that we have such low quality politicians, with many of them not only thinking they are above the average person, but also act with such little integrity. They have also created an environment where there is such a low tolerance for making a mistake, or having a tough point of view. If I forget to pay council tax, or accidentally drive into a bus lane - no one will show you any mercy. That’s the system our politicians built. So when they bend the rules, whether it was a mistake or not, of course the public is furious. Especially when they initially try and wriggle out of it.
Frankly, they should be a lot more careful when it comes to things like this. There are many politicians from an abundance of parties that cannot be trusted, including the Conservatives, and many of the ones found in the European Union too. There should be zero tolerance and it doesn't matter who you vote for.
Looking at how many ‘resets’ this government had and recent history with the Tories, this government doesn’t get to 2028 imo. Frankly, a general election next year in 2026 isn’t an outlandish view to have anymore.More or less what Farage said on that clip of him I posted a bit earlier, he also noted that Labour will now need to have an election for deputy leader and that will result in some rather public in fighting. Though I do note the post was vacant between Watson resigning and Rayner becoming deputy leader so Starmer might just let that situation reoccur.
Deputy PM is a different position, David Lammy or Ed Milliband anyone.
Other commentators have also speculated that the markets may force a general election if Reeves fails to get the bond rates down.
It's a shambles.
