Frogface has always been a lying, lazy grifter. I’ve always been of the mind that after his ‘man of the people’ acts he goes home to his gin and Cuban cigar (after suffering beer and fags for cash raising reasons) and laughs at all these buying into his bullshit.
I’m sorry that Labour haven’t been whiter than white in optics, as much as actions, and become open to these accusations in general, and I do feel a tad disappointed when such stuff comes up. I realise I feel less disappointed in Nige, or Tories, doing much worse. I recognise my disappointment is unfair, why do we let those grifters off and rage after Labour minor stuff - we should be equitable in our rage or acceptance really.
Personally think that whilst today it’s about the media pushing a terrible agenda, unfortunately AR has always been hounded for I guess having the audacity to be a working class woman in Parliament.
I’m mainly for her to stay, though I don’t know how much effort we should expect her to go to to understand HMRC rules that they themselves aren’t clear on, and when others have previously it appears managed to avoid heavy taxation/parliamentary rules, but maybe I’m wrong.
My view is not just because I voted Labour, I’m not a fan of some of their work/policies now tbh, nor am I as left at all as AR, but I think this is a minor error in the scheme of things in parliament as far as I understand it today, that is being corrected, and I don’t think anyone in any other party would be forced out for this, or hounded the same way.
