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.

Is it wrong to say "I just love the drama, Mick"?

Exactly. .the same incompetent idiots, just in difficult roles.

You must be as sad as the Labour lot were when Truss went, get it right

Laughed at this, You wanted her gone too

I think you’re following other posters, well hopefully at some stage this will be the case. I have no idea what you’re referring to.

It’ll do bog all other than show they lack ‘stability’

Are chairs on a sinking ship "stable"? At what point do the foundations become "unstable"? If no-one can see the chairs do they even exist?

In all seriousness, our government are an absolute joke. We are being led by donkeys. I despair for our country.

I shall keep claiming it as a fact as most people shall do as most people will not excuse tax dodgers

she was the housing minister

And now our DPM is someone who thinks men can have cervixes

No-one is stopping you believing whatever you wish. And I’m sure you’re right, many people will assume they ‘know’ the motive. But it’s still not a fact. The level of basic critical thinking in this country never fails to surprise me. Which probably explains why we’re in this mess.

Lammy deputy PM?!!

oh the critical thinking line

a tax dodger was caught out, one who is a hypocrite too

and you are bleating on about its still not a fact around motive and critical thinking

Read your last line and think it over ....

I really don’t think the pp is responsible for the mess we’re in now.

Lol - neither do I! But I do think our collective sleepwalking has contributed to it enormously. We accept conjecture and opinion as fact and evidence, we’re entranced by undeliverable promises and we love to point fingers rather than focus on solutions. And I’m not better than anyone, I’m posting here on a gossipy thread that will achieve nothing!

Isn’t that what Rayner was lacking perhaps? Critical thinking?

I'm disappointed as it shows a lack of leadership on her part.

It's not enough as a leader to say I didn't know what I didn't know. It's her job to seek expert advice.

Yes.

This might be a good moment for some chair gifs 😁

Well our PM thinks women can have penises so
in for a penny and all that

@Allisnotlost1 but that's exactly what Raynor did...jab and point fingers and sit looking down her nose as the disgusting Tories opposite who are immortal and tax dodging and chucking a company under the bus !! Oh sorry I got lost there merging the two
She's been utterly vicious and high handed.

Fucking Lammy 🙄 Thanks a lot, Ange.

Steve Reed to take over from Raynor as Housing secretary

Im guessing Starmer has had all this up his sleeve for a while because there’s quite the shuffle going on

Hopefully Shabana Mahmood will continue to speak sense on this issue. Maybe give dumb and dumber a biology lesson.

Thank god he’s been shuffled away from agriculture.

Good to know she deals in facts and not fairy tales 👍
