To think that surely Rayner has to go.

[Blankscreen]

Well well well.

So now it emerges that Rayner rearranged her property affairs and declared to HMRC that her new flat in Brighton is her main residence and saved £40k on the SDLT bill as a result.

She has then apparently declared to the local councils the complete opposite.

I'm sure slimeball Kier will defend and say it was perfectly legal blah blah blah.

Not to mention she has a grace and favour house funded by tax payers in London as her constituency office is so far away. Yet she 'lives' in Brighton - surely she could just commute that distance like may others do every day.

Surely she has to go.

I agree, I think he’s worried which way the split might go and it could be him that ends out on his ear with a vote of no confidence. People in politics are only interested in saving their own skin. He will do whatever he thinks is best for him.

@YanTanTetheraPetheraBumfitt- but it’s also in the best interests of the country. We have had enough instability. Divided parties are not effective.

True. I think that’s what finished the Conservatives off last time and why they’re still in the political wilderness.

I imagine though the Labour party will implode at some point as it dawns on them how bad their situation is and the in fighting will start.

No idea what happened with the last half of my previous post. How odd. But said I think the Labour Party will implode at some point as they realise how bad their situation is and in fighting starts.

The press would hound Reform??? That I would love to see.

All those keen new MPs last year, it must be dispiriting to experience the Maelstrom just now

They’d need to look in the mirror then. It was them who brought down the welfare changes.

Could all the little Tory mums please go back to baking cookies and wondering who hubby is feeling up in the office, rather than attacking Rayner for daring to be a working class woman running the country. She is not thick, grasping or vile: she is forthright, intelligent and has achieved a damn sight more than most of the people on here. Maybe keep the jealousy under control.

She is a thick, grasping, hypocrite. And bore off with your inane stereotypes. [Lib Dem voter here, work full time, in a business of which I'm a partner]

Lifelong Labour voter who finds that sexist patronising crap you just posted offensive too.

Nearly sums up the worst of Labour supporters here 👏👏

Oh come on. That’s absolutely disgusting. I’m a left leaning Rayner admirer but seriously?

You will note that at least two of the posters who objected to your condescending misogyny are women who admire Rayner.

So proud of you, working full time in your business. And posting here on a Sunday morning, on a forum attacking one the hardest working female politicians who has done so much for people like you. Maybe start appreciating what Labour has done to help working people, and stop voting ToryLite.

You have an interesting take on life, I’ll give you that.

My comment is disgusting? The putrid crap on here about her, and its cookies and office groping that rattles your cage? Perspective, please.

It's not misogyny to loathe women who slag off other women.... or is it?

Your sneering and condescension are definitely misogyny. Hopefully you’ll learn from the reaction you’ve received here. The disgusting things others say about Rayner and other female politicians in no way excuse or justify you stooping to the same level.

Oh ha ha ha if you think Lib Dem is "Tory Lite"

Labour don't class business owners as "working people". In fact their list of "working people" is actually very narrow. So if PP is a business owner then it's probably likeky Labour have shafted them!

But seriously, are you this pleasant in real life or just when hiding behind an anonymous name?

You seem to be presenting yourself as an elite businesswoman, a Karren Brady, rather than a working person. How much is your anonymous self declaring to HMRC, and what tax loopholes have you found useful lately? I'm lovely in real life, and honest, but I don't accept the mindless attacks on female MPs which dogwhistle media onslaughts provoke. Harriet Harman used to get the same abuse. Funny how it's Labour women the media target. Shame you haven't seen through that yet.

I'm not portraying myself as anything.

You however......

Blossomtoes, you have provided a perfect example of how to be condescending. 🤣😅

You did that, not me. And the fact that you think it’s a laughing matter speaks volumes.
