Rayner cleared.

I'm just having a jolly sing song..

All this talk of getting older is getting me down my love. . .

HRMC haven’t confirmed, either way, whether there is any tax liability, and won’t do so.

Tax affairs are confidential, so we’ll never know, one way or another.

“HMRC was the only organisation to refuse to confirm or deny whether it was investigating Ms Rayner, saying it could not comment on individual cases because of taxpayer confidentiality law. It is understood that even if she went to HMRC and waived her right to anonymity, it would be unlikely to comment.”

Has she been cleared for selling her soul though😈 talking about Palastine and there was I thinking I lived in Britain and it's local/British issues that should be discussed and MPs elected on.

In what way has Angela Rayner sold her soul?

Palestine/Israel is something raised regularly in this general election campaign. That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone given the frequent pro Palestinian marches in UK and it hrt European / American cities.

I assume that you have no interest at all in anything that goes on beyond our little island then?

But it is just possible that other British voters might be interested to know the foreign policy stance of a prospective government.

She's just grovelling, no difference to her and George Galloway trying to woo the Musin vote making Gaza top priority. Actually I've travelled all over the world although I have never visited Israel though it was always on my bucket list.

I don't follow this at all.

How has AR sold her soul (and to whom has she sold it?) and what has your living in Britain got to do with it?

Further, if foreign policy is what MPs should be elected on, why is there talk of increasing the defence budget and conscripting young people? And is there no link between wars abroad and the immigration that upsets so many?

😄tbh Verve were depressing.Funny that they chose their name.
I’ve never heard anyone use the word or seen it written down so good on the poster who used it and brought it to our attention.I’ll see if I can work it into a conversation sometime.
I agree with Callistemon21 that I wouldn’t think of AR as having verve as she seems deadpan most of the time.

Of course we have to talk about Foreign Affairs. Our trading and financial futures, our political relationships with other countries - we don't exist in a separate bubble away from the rest of the world!

And which Tory Chancellor had to pay £20 million in tax due to an 'oversight'? The attack on Rayner is trivial by comparison and was obviously political on the part of a failing Tory party.

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

Absolutely!

This!

£5m I think.

^eazybee’s contempt for any Labour politician.^

You need to get your facts right.
Not any Labour politician.
My contempt is reserved for Angela Rayner.

Please explain. Is it because you think she is uncouth?

I think that any politician, regardless of party, should be honest, and keep their tax affairs in order.

I have an idea.

Let’s investigate Michelle Mone with the same enthusiasm.

Bet she isn’t found “no case to answer” though!

She is being investigated by the NCA.

I know😄. I meant the GN members.

75 million! sheesh.

Germanshepherdsmum

£5m I think.

Yes GSM. A careless oversight on my part - Zahawi admitted it was £5m.

Including a penalty for late payment. Good of you to acknowledge an oversight, many wouldn’t. We all make mistakes.

RAMZAN: Why footage of Angela Rayner grovelling for votes from a room full of Muslim men - with hardly a woman to be seen - shows Labour is pandering to misogyny

(Daily Mail)

I don't think labour need to grovel.
The tories have ensured that.

I think we can safely say that no man pushes Angela Rayner around, Muslim or otherwise. She doesn’t pander to misogyny in any respect - she’s more likely to spit in its face.
