The usual deaf and blind write Reform off but they forget that the red wall abandoned Labour in droves voting Boris Johnson in and already half of working class labour voters say they intend to vote Labour. The usual people who’ve lost their senses say there’s 4 years to go. Yeah, 4 years for it to get worse. This government are so bad, and they were supposed to be the adults now in charge.

The tories have a majority in the unelected chamber and they will be frustrating and blocking the wishes of the voters, particularly the landlords bill as that is what many of them are.
Enter the government who would normallty create labour peers as has been done before to get their stuff through, but not here so far, several in the labour government are also landlords themselves.
The HOL needs to end and the job taken inside, a fair voting system introduced, it looks, and is, ridiculous in the modern world.

It looks like she’s in more trouble according to The Telegraph. Apparently she and her husband sued the NHS for the treatment her disabled son received. Many would, but a hopeful Labour leader? So the money from the case was put in a trust fund.
Next the pair of them sell a large share of the house to their disabled son so use his trust fund to keep the house and use the money elsewhere. This is how Rayner gathered the money together. I still think she had a large mortgage.
Next it is apparently breaking rules and a problem that the flat in Hove is registered as a first home when it is actually a 2nd home. Before it was thought that it’s only how many homes you ‘own’, as she didn’t own any when buying the Bive flat, but apparently not.
Next she claims she made errors blah blah, only there’s the very uncomfortable fact she hired a tax and wealth advisor to avoid paying the stamp duty she should have paid.
I thought this wasn’t going to go anywhere after the weekend but credit to The Telegraph, they’ve exposed this hypocrite for what she is, rather than the working class hero who sets a good example and full of integrity. Nope, she’s a greedy hypocrite and now people know it. Another own goal the working class Labour voter will find abhorrent. Well done the lot of them.

Jacob Rees-Mogg reckons it’ll be Ed Milliband lol. That would be so hilarious it would outweigh the pain of the damage. They’d be even more fecked in 2029 then.

I would say they are eminently recognisable as a labour government. Spiralling government debt that they continue to try to address with tax rises and attacks on people who generate prosperity, rather than on public sector waste. And unfashionable as it may be, if you have to increase tax, just do the honest and efficient thing, and add 1% onto all rates of income tax. You might find the economy responds better to that than to a massive levy on employment which is applicable regardless of how profitable a business is, and which disproportionately hits those who rely on employing people. A further lurch to the left will just make all the country's economic problems deeper.

A very adept and damning summary. She consulted with a few advisors, before succumbing to the "Tax evasion" option.
We've probably all done cash-in-hand jobs when we were younger , or paid a builder in cash for a small job "to keep the petty cash tin full"
The trouble is, tax rule enforcement is harsh. Anyone here handed in their Tax Return 5 minutes past midnight ? You get an automatic fine.
Rayner's problem here, is it could potentially open a can of worms, if there is shown to be systematic abuse of the system over a period of time.
She must be concerned about losing her job, but also HMRC should be involved. Unfortunately, HMRC doesn't normally chase political figures.
And the reason the other MP's aren't clamouring for wholeheartedly for an investigation ? You can bet there's a whole load of them from all parties who've done exactly the same

Yes, we didn’t know about the trusts until yesterday. There was always a question mark over how she could buy the flat for £800,000. Turns out she sued the NHS. A Labour politician and now deputy PM and cabinet minister suing the NHS. It just gets worse.

Multiple ownership and trusts!!
She made her career on pointing out Tory MP's on the make, well fair enough but commonsense says that if you are going to do that you ought to put your own house in order.
She has now said she did not knowingly avoid paying tax well that is not true. She set up a trust fund the reason people do that is to avoid paying tax.
She's a hypocrite of the first order.

The dreaded vote of confidence. By another incompetent. 😀
Rayner must be pleased with an endorsement from Rachel, from Accounts.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she has "full confidence" in Angela Rayner in her role as the deputy prime minister. (BBC)
I reckon there's too much in Rayner's closet that's going to come out in the next day or two.
Using her disabled son as some kind of mitigation, as some of her colleagues have said should be taken into account, is just about as low as you can go.

Some women can only get a shag off their brother !
Exactly there are many parents who have children with health issues they don't feel the need to set up trust funds.
Thousands of Lloyds staff deemed to be underperforming face axe
Lloyds Banking Group's policy puts 3,000 jobs at risk, with staff to be told they must improve their work or lose their job.
www.bbc.co.uk
The gist of this story is that Lloyds bank are dumping UK staff and transferring the jobs to India.
As I keep trying to explain on this site the number of UK job vacancies is decreasing by the month and year we do not need large scale immigration.
