Rayner Has Resigned

[usernamealreadytaken]

AIBU to say it isn't unexpected, or a surprise?

The man who thinks you can grow a cervix 🤣

If we'd listened to a lot of people re Brexit the country would be a lot richer. It's not as if Lammy was the sole voice of reason.

The man is a buffoon. I wouldn't give him too much credit for his views on Brexit. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

The advice she received was to get further specialist advice due to the complex nature of her situation. She didn't follow the advice.

Shame. NOT. Never was too keen on her. I don't like her replacement though.

Please can someone clarify, if she took her money out of her son’s house, how is the flat not her primary residence? It’s her son’s house isn’t it?

Seems a shame to lose such a good job over £40k

And the letter that surfaced a while back, written during his time at private school. .. over teacher's concerns about his extreme racist and neo fascist views.

I mean if educators at one of the most 'prestigious' private schools in England (in the 80s!) are saying you're racist, chances are you're racist. He can't chalk that one up to a 'leftist agenda'.

I’m not sure what is authentic about a pro high taxation tax avoider and a supposedly left wing politician with multiple homes. Do her principles only apply to other people and their money. When it comes to her own wealth, she is less keen to share that.

I've no idea if this is true, but he is not the housing minister nor does he make these ridiculous rules.
Rayner helped make these arcane rules yet could not be bothered to follow them.

Why? What is illegal about it? I think that makes perfect sense to be honest. He just has to trust she doesn’t run away with it since it’s her house!

tax planning within the law is a perfectly normal thing to do.

He would have sold us to the French, leasing ourselves back at billions per annum.

The people who want to vote for Reform don’t care if people on the left think he is ‘racist’. It’s music to NF’s ears, tbh. This is exactly how he’ll collecting votes

There are lots of crappy and dishonest politicians about.
Start your own post about them.
We are discussing Rayner, a woman who has lived off the public purse all her life and who is dishonest and greedy.

I really dislike how she always plays the ‘working class I had a child at 16’ card. I am from working class. background, had a child at 17 and worked my way to a senior role (not as senior as her). Does that mean that I don’t have to pay all my tax?

You don't have to pay all your tax if you have the means to pay someone to 'tax plan' for you, which Angela did, plus you would think that at her level of seniority someone would be casting a glance over her finances to prevent this sort of thing occurring ?

The man who thinks Red Leicester is a type of blue cheese.
Marie Antionette discovered radium.

The man who said he’d been standing there for ages and hadn’t seen a policeman, when there was one standing behind him in the shot.

There are so many! That did make me chuckle.

She is also, alas, just not intelligent or credible enough to be the Deputy Prime Minister

This, she just comes across as not very good at understanding things and thinking things through (and that is NOT prejudice because she's working-class - plenty of WC politicians have been/are intelligent and astute). That and the constant somewhat suspect-seeming dealings that have finally come back to bite her on the arse and weren't actually just misogyny and classism after all.

Unfortunately Lammy's hardly any better in the nous department. (Love Dead Ringers version of Lammy, it's so spot on.)

I'm constant flabbergasted at how this Labour government have not prioritised rooting out corruption and freebie-bagging and giving the general appearance of being on the take - surely that is just a mindblowingly obvious way to be different from the previous government and gain people's trust?

Why are you so bothered by wider debate?!

If only she had gone to the proper schools.
Stay in your lane, peasants of MN, leave the grifting to your betters.

Her children live with her ex husband in Manchester. She lives in London with a married man. Or she did. They probably live in Hove now!

And when the media finally publishes the truth about Farage, this will be tiny potatoes...

Entirely unrelated, isn't 'I Saw Her Standing There' one of the best Beatles songs?

The Guardian published one opinion. Other teachers had other opinions, which they didn't print.

1 “foreign” isn't a race. His partner is a foreigner.
2 Corbyn considered Gerry Adams and Hezbollah his friends; does that make him a terrorist? Abbott is consistently anti-white. We have MPs who are more concerned with politics in Gaza than the UK. Is it bad that a politician wants to prevent forced diversity through high immigration, given that politicians around the world largely have that aim?
3 It’s an actual photo. What can be positively spun about the actual photo? Would a different caption have helped, or do you just think that the proles shouldn’t see actual footage of issues?
4 No idea about wither of those, sorry, but given the current administration’s anti-Israel stance are they any better?

Is there a difference between nationalism and racism? Most countries (other than some in the EU) are primarily nationalist. Many countries which are considered stable and successful, such as Japan, Norway, Finland, Iceland, are quite nationalistic first.

Exactly

No wonder she got confused as to which was her main residence, where she was meant to vote, etc. I agree with a pp though - who sells a share of a house to your child at an inflated price and then moves 100’s of miles away with her latest squeeze?

All the time stating it was her for children…

I was Power of Attorney for both parents. My siblings don’t live in the UK. I asked whether they wanted me to keep careful records of everything spent. They said they trusted me to do the right thing and in the end I did keep records but bless them. Not once did they ever ask to see anything.
