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

I wish Andy Burnham would replace Keir.

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!

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.

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.

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

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

Not sure that stands up in a court of law🙈

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

Same DiamondLily!

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

The Tories are desperate aren’t they?😀

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

I spy a dead cat

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.

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.
