Angela Rayner resigns over stamp duty row

Rayner’s departure is deeply damaging to prime minister who had initially stood by her

It's certainly a breach but bloody hell the number of those MPs in scandals who don't walk is immense.

As bad as it looks for the Labour Party initially, Sir Keir Starmer will be mightily relieved that 'his team' have finally managed to get rid of 'Big Ange'...

Listening to Times Radio yesterday, they had the deputy chairman of The Conservative Party bragging that it was his party's probing of Angela Rayner and her taxation misdemeanours that planted the seed in the media.

But nothing could be further from the truth.....

Sir Keir Starmer is a nice enough bloke but he's probably the most unpopular and ineffective Prime Minister in living memory. He's an absolute dud!

And its been rumoured for months that the Labour Party deputy leader, Rayner was on manoeuvres looking to replace her boss as leader of the party and thereby becoming PM of the UK. She had totally shored up the left wing fringe of her party.

If the Conservatives did have information on Angela Rayner's tax avoidance then they would have waited for her to be safely ensconced into the Downing Street hotseat before unleashing it to the newspapers.

Nup, it's an inside job for sure. Rayner's political career is over for the foreseeable future and there is nobody else on the horizon who could realistically be a bona fide replacement for Starmer.
 
Yes, another factor from within the party itself. See it regularly around the world where the leader nudges or demands others leave in the interest of the party but there's also the leadership battle itself.

Politics is a brutal business. And while intra-party cohesion is a crucial feature of parliamentary democracies, these disputes and divisions that constantly arise within the internal body politic are beyond brutal.

The one thing about Angela Rayner is, while she did come across as being a little uncouth, having been brought up on a council estate by her single mother and becoming a single mother herself at 16, she did give the lawyer dominated Labour Government an authentic working class presence...

She had little in the way of high school education, no university degree and certainly no easy route into the world of high end politics.

I kinda feel sorry for her. She was told by her 'high street' conveyancing solicitor to get expert legal advice on the stamp duty on her second home, as she looked to be in breach of the stamp duty taxation regulations, but chose not too.....

Now the £40K 'oversight' has cost her whatbwas a very promising career in politics.

Anyone watched much of journalist John Stossel? Been around for decades. I find he presents very balanced and thorough reporting.

I do wonder sometimes if he's mastered some kind of gaslighting because I feel in some kind of matrix where I'm not sure if he's genuinely reporting that way. Probably just goes to show I can't believe my ears hearing someone just focused on the story and relaying the information without nasty framing.

Any particular reason you singled out a single murder from the thousands of murders that occurred in the last 24 hours around the world?

Any particular axe to grind?


Train carriage full of people, no one jumped the cunt. I would hope I was near 2 or 3 boofy blokes so we could jump on a prick like this.

Yeah that's pretty grim. Imagine having to learn that in order for a body not to float you should stab the lungs and, by the way, here's the best way to do it.

Maybe the same reason why the Ukraine v Russia war is singled out in the media over all the other global conflicts? Or Palestinians lack of statehood seems more important than 30 odd million Kurds having a country of their own??? Outrage sells....
 
Trump politicising it of course conveniently forgetting red states have higher rates of murders.

The bloke is such a pig.


“For too long, Americans have been forced to put up with Democrat-run cities that set loose savage, bloodthirsty criminals to prey on innocent people. Really very, very innocent people.

“In every place they control, radical left judges, politicians and activists, and they’ve adopted a policy of ‘catch and release’ for thugs and killers. In Charlotte, North Carolina, we saw the results of these policies when a 23-year-old woman who came here from Ukraine met her bloody end on a public train."

Like I said, outrage sells.... This is really terrible of me and I sincerely apologise in advance, but it wouldn't suprise me whatsoever if it plays out that this poor girl doesn't have a legal visa and ICE should have deported her....

Nah. It's because a black bloke, in a Democrat city, stabbed a white girl.

It's hit 3 of his KPIs. Black bloke, white girl, Democrat city.

Boom.
