Rayner cleared.

If she has defrauded tax, then, like anyone else, she needs to pay the penalty..

If she hasn’t, then all good.

So she has only been cleared of the more minor offences - in respect of one no action could be taken now anyway. I would certainly like to see her convicted of tax evasion. No matter the amount involved, it’s a serious crime involving dishonesty.

Now to go after James Daly MP, a most peculiar man, who wrote to the police sparking off this whole fiasco but - oddly - when he appeared on various daytime progs and was asked exactly what he was accusing her of, he couldn't seem to make any sense. In effect, refusing to answer.

In effect, he must have been making it up. And that will be his eternal footmark in history.

Gawd. I really must start proof reading …

To be fair, it was questioning the use of the word verve! Nothing wrong with that.
Verve is not a term I'd use to describe her at all.

As M0nica says, the investigations continue.

Eden Square Davey’s got that covered on his paddle board.

Well, she’s been cleared of the criminal stuff. The tax situation continues.🤷‍♀️

Thank you, Doodledog. -vigour, enthusiasm, liveliness and animation- have not characterised the Labour campaign so far.

X posed MOnica 😁

Hang on. Just now in The Telegraph:

“ Police hand file on Angela Rayner two home row to HMRC
Spokesman says council tax and personal tax matters fall outside of its jurisdiction”

So just not a Police matter. Maybe just a tax payment issue?

Be fair Germanshepherdsmum, you are never going to vote Labour - you have told us more than once that you are going to vote Tory, as you are perfectly entitled to do - so what difference does it make to you what Angela Rayner does? You had an interest in whether she would be cleared or not, as we all did, but if other voters think she will bring verve to the campaign, they are entitled to do so!

Verve?

From Dictionary.com:
^enthusiasm or vigor, as in literary or artistic work; spirit: Her latest novel lacks verve.
vivaciousness; liveliness; animation: I like a teacher with plenty of verve.^

No, she has not been cleared. The police have cleared her saying 'council tax and personal tax do not fall into the jurisdiction of policing'

She is still be being investigated by HMRC, this is the main enquiry, the police investigation as just a little something on the side.

Verve?

Good. What we saw there was not pretty. I hope she'll bring some much-needed verve to the Labour campaign.

Of what? There were allegations of breaching electoral law, falsely claiming single person’s council tax discount and tax evasion.

It was over 10 years ago and a few hundred quid. I don’t think anyone was really outraged by this, unlike the Michele Mone scandal involving millions, water companies paying dividendsto shareholders yet still in debt, utliliy bosses paid huge bonuses etc etc.

Well it was very obvious that she was being used as a scapegoat
I hope she gets apologies and compensation for blackening her name
Disgusting behaviour
