She was cleared by HMRC.

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?

Exactly what I was told by a retired Inspector of Taxes. Never a police matter Inland Revenue prefer to collect interest and penalties.

I'm totally uninterested in anything Mogg may, or may not be.

ronib Thu 30-May-24 21:11:21

You might not be surprised but Jacob Rees-Mogg might be MA

MissAdventure Thu 30-May-24 20:56:37

I'm not surprised! grin

Casdon Thu 30-May-24 20:52:25

I’ve never admitted it before Miss A, even to myself, but I’m actually Jacob Rees Mogg’s mother ….

I wish I could understand what you mean.

MissAdventure Thu 30-May-24 20:44:27

Just what I said.

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 30-May-24 20:42:35

‘Nobody on here has children who have done so well’. What do you mean?

MissAdventure Thu 30-May-24 20:34:45

I think its testament to Rayners strength and resilience, considering how her home life was.

Lets face it, nobody on here has children who have done so well.

And one of the nicest young women I know, 43 now, successful and happy. Arrested aged 16 shoplifting very expensive underwear along with 4 friends from her private school. It can’t have been the first time because they had a gadget to remove the tags

MissAdventure Thu 30-May-24 20:29:16

Shoplifting is at an all time high, I think.
So presumably that includes lots of peoples darling offspring and grandchildren.

Whatever next?!

What next🤔

It depends what can be invented, and how gullible people are.

And how little people understand about teenage behaviour. Many successful adults did daft stuff in their mid teens. If this is as Bad as Angela got, where’s the problem, she isn’t claiming as behaviour she’s proud of

That depends on how low the tabloids can sink, really.

Angela Rayner admits to teenage shoplifting but ‘always tried to do the right thing’
She said she felt her ‘wings had been clipped’ by the inquiry into the sale of her former council house

Angela Rayner recently spoke to Beth Rigby for the Sky News Daily Podcast
Angela Rayner has admitted that she shoplifted as a 16-year-old. Labour’s deputy leader told Sky News that she had “always tried to do the right thing”, days after Greater Manchester Police dropped its investigation into her tax affairs concerning her former home.

Ms Rayner told the Sky News Daily Podcast: “I’ve always tried to do the right thing. I’ve never tried to you know, I’ve never been in trouble. You know I might have been in trouble at 016. You know I did shoplift once

Doodledog Thu 30-May-24 19:52:55

I am anti-porn too, but (a) there is no evidence that AR's son was involved, and (b) if he has been that does not implicate her, and has the square root of naff all to do with the values of the Labour Party.

Dinahmo

Many of you complain about social media and the effect that it has on your children. I assume that this includes the "influencers" some of whom earn large sums. And what about the people in Love Island and the pop stars who pose scantily clad? These images can and do cause a lot of harm to young people because they would like their lives to be like that shown.

It is difficult some times to avoid such images because they sometimes shown on MSM.

To my mind the above is more harmful than a porn site which would mainly be watched by adults.

The only porn scene I can remember seeing was in Last Tango in Paris with a stick of butter.

Dinahmo - I remember that scene in Last Tango in Paris, I was about 19 and shocked by the act and by the pain on Maria Schneider’s face, by the abuse she suffered. My views on the sex trade/porn have been strengthened over years of meeting women exploited by it
I’m with you on Love Island which has the power to influence young people lacking in life experience

Galaxy Thu 30-May-24 19:30:42

The information on what porn is doing yo young people is fairly horrific.
Can you tell I loathe porn!

My niece’s daughter is on Only Fans and apparently is paid to show her feet which didn’t seem all that interesting to me last time I saw her…🤔

Whitewavemark2 Thu 30-May-24 19:01:26

Still flogging a dead horse I see.😄😄

MissAdventure Thu 30-May-24 19:00:06

I used to know someone whose nails were quite "admired".

JaneJudge Thu 30-May-24 18:58:16

Some people on only fans just do videos of their feet
Apparently
