Rayner Has Resigned

[usernamealreadytaken]

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

So that’s the majority of them that shouldn’t be in office then

Who have stated that they were not qualified to give the specialist advice she needed, and were being made scapegoats.

Keir.

Very standard arrangement in the media and totally legal. Plenty of BBC "personalities" do the same, see Gary Lineker for example.

Good. She couldn’t stay after that

That is nothing compared to how much he will siphon off for him and and his cronies if Reform win.

Shocked she actually resigned as thought she'd cling on for everything.
I once was a big fan, but I don't believe she is a voice for WC people. I doubt she's the only one who dodges taxes, all parties are full of corrupt self serving dickheads. The whole place needs cleaning up!

Often I will ask my accountant what the most tax efficient way of doing this or that is and he advises accordingly. But I am not deputy PM, neither do I call for my competitors to resign publicly.
You live by the sword you die by the sword.

💯 @ByShyRaven . I don’t think it’s good to destabilise this government. What’s the alternative , realistically? Farage and his financier cronies who will turn this place into a poor imitation of the USA, privatise the NHS and cosy up to Russia. Badenoch who has no real plan ( apart from drilling time oil) and just sits in the sidelines carping.

I think it's a real shame. I had a lot of time for Rayner and I think she's got into a total pickle with her family arrangements, but that's not a huge surprise.

All this "so she could live with her boyfriend" commentary smacks of misogyny - but women in politics just get hounded endlessly, so not a surprise.

Of course this is totally ok 🙄

No one advised her accordingly, that’s the issue. She lied about that. Both practices put out statements to correct that lie.

Credibility!!!😂😂

I’m glad someone else said this!

Tax avoidance and tax evasion are totally different things.

Her interview with Beth Rigby where she cries over her kids having to read all about this in the press. ODFOD. Had you kept your nose clean, your kids wouldn’t be upset.

Rotten woman.

I knew my Friday was going to get better - thank god she’s gone. How shit that KS didn’t have the balls to sack her.

Huh? Are you ok?!

But Rayner would have been fine if the house was in Tarry’s name and she just moved in with him… perhaps they couldn't do that as he’d likely lose half in the divorce.

There wouldn’t be many MPs left 😬

depressing. I had hoped that Labour MPs would be better than the Tories. Is honesty too much to ask of an MP??

Authenticity and credibility. 🤣

Bad day?

That wouldn't leave many in the HoC.
