The matter of Angela Rayner's house sale isn't going away.....

All will be revealed, I guess, but I'll be really disappointed if she turns out to be as bigger fraudster as the rest of them.

Very sad,however, the present chancellor of the exchequer managed to dodge a hefty sum of stamp duty a few years ago and the conservatives seemed to have brushed that under their somewhat threadbare carpet methinks...Just saying.

I spy a dead cat

1) Did Angela Rayner commit tax fraud by providing false information about her main house of residence when she sold her council house, in order to evade paying Capital Gains Tax?

2) Did Angela Rayner commit council tax fraud by providing false information about her main house of residence on any council tax forms?

3) Did Angela Rayner commit electoral fraud by providing false information on any electoral register forms about her main house of residence?

I would be very interested to hear Angela Rayner's answers to these direct questions.
And whether Keir Starmer can state categorically that he believes that she can truthfully answer "no" to all three.

I saw,her on tv the other morning, and she said she is perfectly happy to be checked out, because she has done nothing at all wrong.

She did look a,bit shifty, perhaps, though.

The best way for these questions to be answered is through a police investigation. It should be very straightforward to identify either way, job done.

Agree Grandmabatty! This is the Tories and their client media up to their old tricks. Boris Johnson attends numerous parties during lockdown … but look, Keir Starmer has a beer and a curry not during lockdown. Nadhim Zahawi ‘comes to an arrangement with HRMC’ to pay £5million in unpaid taxes and penalties … but look, Angela Raynor may / may not owe £1k in tax from 10 years ago, before she was even an MP. William Wragg sends d* pics and discloses colleagues phone numbers to a stranger online, potentially causing a security risk … but look, AR may / may not have given an incorrect address. Why were journalists questioning AR’s neighbours anyway - smacks of a Tory / media witch hunt to me. They’re trying to create the create the narrative that ‘all politicians are as bad as each other’. Well, they’re not!

The Tories are desperate aren’t they?😀

But saying that, the police investigation should sort it one way or another.

Not sure that stands up in a court of law🙈

I must admit I don’t really care what house she was living in and when.🤷‍♀️

Thankfully not.
I'm rooting for her to be found as honest as the day's long.

I don’t suppose she had a mate to lend her £800k like Boris did either.

Nothing as yet from Labour's Andy Burnham. Stockport in Manchester so he's got skin in this game, as both ex council houses ( and now there are two house sales and CGT in question) are in Stockport.

Wonder if he'd prefer it if Angie hit the buffers so he'd have a better shot at the leadership after Starmer - because one thing for certain, Starmer's not going to be around for long.

Have you got a hotline to Labour HQ Urmstongran, or are you fantasising? Seriously, Andy Burnham is not going to be Keir Starmer’s replacement, I bet you.

I can dream Casdon! Yes just speculating as one does on a Friday tea time up North….
😁

Also … listen to Mr Lammy, that pinnacle of intellectual genius. As he explained, as Rayner is in Opposition not Government, she is not judged by the same moral criteria. Don’t you just love it?
Just hilarious!

I wish Andy Burnham would replace Keir.

It’s very strange that she refuses to publish the tax advice she claims to have received, and that Starmer says he hasn’t seen it.

Why? No doubt she’ll disclose it to the police, which is as it should be.

Why hasn’t she even shown it to Starmer, given all the fuss? Don’t you think that someone in her position, accused of criminal offences, should do that? Starmer could then say he’d seen it and believes all was in order. If the advice exists, of course …

One of her former neighbours, interviewed by the press, called her ‘a f***ing liar’. We shall see.

Similar to the fantasies we all have in our idle moments then - but I tend not to fantasise about politicians, they aren’t attractive enough.
I agree David Lammy was out of order. I want the people in charge to have no skeletons in their closets, I don’t care which party they represent in that respect.

How horrible we have all become. Rubbing our collective hands in glee at this.
I know very little about her but the fact that she did ,at one time, actually work for a living is a start.

Quite honestly, I would have thought being leader of the Labour Party and/or PM is the last thing Burnham would want. He seems happy enough where he is (can't say I blame him).

I'd certainly keep everyone speculating, if I was her.
Just for the sheer pleasure of knowing I was telling the truth (if I was)
