Angela Raynor only owns one property.

We need to let them get on with doing their jobs and ignore all the media-induced sidetracking rubbish.

I agree but it isn't happening on GN, is it?

At the moment, threads about Angela Rayner are the top three in "News and Politics".

So I am right. Even though I agree with you that we should let them get on with doing their jobs and ignore all the media-induced sidetracking rubbish., it isn't happening on GN.

How many properties Angela Raayner does or does not own is immaterial. It could be half a property, it could be 25.

The central problem is that this is the second time there have been queries about the legalities of her house transfers in regard to whether proper tax was paid and whether she had been indulging in sophsticated tax avoidance. Now, tax avoidance is legal. But we have to ask whether a government Minister and previously vociferous Shadow Ministern who has been loud in condemning members of other parties when they do what she has done, eve though it was legal, is the kind of person we want involved in running the country, especially as Minister of Houseing.

Yes, what she did, she thought was legal, but given the problem she had last time she swapped properties, she really should have gone to a top of the trees advisor and got 2 or 3 opinions before doing what she did.

She is showing herself to be slapdash and indifferent to public opinion. Not good traits in a minister. I think she should resign and then in may be 6-9 months time, when keir Starmer i doing a reshuffle she can be reappointed but not as Minister of Housing.

Yes.
Once under fire I wouldn't have let it happen to me a second time M0nica.
I think yours would be a good plan if she is still found to be at fault here when the process is completed.

She is toast!

What's the point of those silly little pictures please?

I notice when somebody says something unkind or offensive they often include them.

I think the whole AR " thing" is awful. The state of the country is awful and integrity is nowhere to be found.

Apparently she has resigned from her ministerial positions

Yes.
Just heard that.

She has resigned!

Sorry cross posted!

I feel for her. I genuinely don't think that she set out to deceive. Although it is not possible to see into the soul of another, it would have been very foolish to do so as the media have bedevilled this government from the start, and she would have known that they wouldn't leave her in peace.

Whatever people think about her because of her hair, trouser suit, accent and other characteristics she is far from foolish.

I hope she does come back in 6 months or so.

After this fuss I’m sure she will take proper advice with property and Trust transactions.

It’s clear that a mistake was made and she has admitted liability, it was done quickly without a long drawn out denial. Because she is now paying the extra tax due the only penalty is likely just the interest due on late payment.

Any of us could make the error she made, I would not be surprised if she keeps her job.

Clearly she does own 2 homes! The forms you are required to fill in are easily understood. I know! All you have to do is be truthful and you are taken to the next relevant question!

She's resigned now.

The little pictures are called “emojis” they indicate my desire to celebrate.

I suppose I ought to care, but guess what……….!

And here's my little emojis to celebrate 🍾🍾🍾🥂

Really how horrible. The whole thing is one almighty mess.

Enjoy your celebration.

This opens the door for more disruption, hate and the likes of Farage to jump into the void.

Wonder who will replace her ? She really had to go after that debacle. I actually quite like her and I think she will still be a good MP, just not suitable as a deputy PM.

You don't have to have a deputy...
Though I can see it's useful.

What has happened to Angela Rayner is far from pretty. It puts our politics in a very bad light.

Me too Doodledog
I’m glad that she has resigned quickly so everyone can move on before the party conferences get underway. I too hope she returns to government in a few months time.

I sincerely do not want her to return to government.
Her actions have proved how unsuitable she was for high office.

What a delusional post.

Angela Rayner is toast and if she is not then Starmer should resign.

👏👏

She’s gone😄

I don't think she set out to deceive, she took bad advice.
