Is Angela Raynor a liar or is it all anti Labour media bias?

[CormorantStrikesBack]

I’m well aware how anti Labour a lot of the main stream media seem to be so I wasn’t paying much attention previously to all the stuff about how she should have paid capital gains tax on her house, etc. she was adamant that she didn’t need to.

So it seems like she said it was her main residence so not liable for capital gains tax. But her husband and kids lived in a house a short distance away apparently for the first five years of their marriage which is unusual. A neighbour who lived next to her “husband’s” house said it was the main family home and Angela definitely lived there.

I’ll be sad if she has lied. Always thought she was on the side of the ordinary person. I guess the police/tax man might have a hard time proving anything though regardless of the neighbour’s statement. If all bills, etc were in the individual names there’s no evidence.

@IClaudine It's very easy, see posts in this thread, to present it as being about her not knowing where she lived.

Enough of the public fall for it for it to serve its purpose so far as the Tories are concerned.

In reality there's a lot of case law about what constitutes residence.

She’s a hypocrite and a liar but that goes hand in hand with being a politician? Calling out Hancock for his affair, whilst she was having one herself was a low point, but I’d be hard pushed to find an ounce of integrity in any political party.
I really did hate it though when she stood up and said “I represent women in business”. I am a woman in business and she is not representative of me. At all.

When did she have an affair and who with?

I assume it refers to her time with Sam Tarry, another Labour MP.

@Idontknowwhattodo78 "Calling out Hancock for his affair, whilst she was having one herself was a low point"

She called Hancock out because he gave the woman he was having an affair with a job, not because he was simply have no an affair. But don't, as they say, let they're h get in the way of a good story!

That is what I thought but they were both separated from their respective spouses at the time they were allegedly seeing each other in 2022, well after the Hancock thing in 2021. So not an affair and not at the time Rayner was calling Hancock out.

Perhaps @Idontknowwhattodo78 knows something none of the rest of us do? 🫠

The Sun, not a reliable source I know, accused her of hypocrisy over Tarry as he was married at the time, albeit separated:

As above the issue with Handcock wasn't kissing/shagging but giving his lover, or at least a friend at the time, a job.

I rather doubt the former aide, on who AR imposed an NDA, apparently, is a ‘desperate’ Tory.

As there is no ID requirement (until this year) then all they would know is someone claiming to be AR voted...... hardly conclusive when we are talking about criminal burdens of proof.

But seriously, do you really think she was voting twice???

I didn't say he was a Tory or desperate. But feel free to twist my words if it makes you feel better.😘

I guessed it was either a Sun or Mail angle.

I thought the Tory implication was clear enough. But if you’re not saying it’s Tory desperation to attack Rayner, fair enough.

Why would the aide be ‘desperate’? - which you clearly did say.

“There was no doubt in my mind that this was Ms Rayner’s family home, where she lived with her then-husband, Mark,” his letter states
“I remember it quite vividly because Ms Rayner was not at home at first and I had to wait for some time in my car before she eventually arrived. It was also memorable in that it was the first and only time I visited her home during the course of my voluntary work for her.”

10 years ago and he because she wasn't in when he visited, that proves she lives there..... or it doesn't prove she lives there.... ???

...he visited only the one time.... i hope the Police acted on a little more than this, bearing in mind, there is a 12month time limit for prosecutions and we are talking how long ago???

However, having been subject to a NDA after having been made a redundancy offer, i don't approve of these at all but they are extremely common, no matter what you re trying to insinuate.

I didn't say the aide was desperate.

There’s no other way of reading your post. You did say that.

Yeah, I thought the same as you - the fact that she wasn't in when he rocked up isn't evidence of anything at all. My kids are frequently not at my house because they do in fact live elsewhere, but by this guy's lights their absence is proof that they live here? Bizarre.

And NDA or not, a resentful ex-employee is hardly going to be an impartial witness. This testimony isn't the gotcha the right wing media would like it to be.

I said "this is getting desperate". As in, the attempt to keep the AR smearing story going.

AR was out? Alone and late at night probably. Shameful. Stone her.

I reckon St Angela was out saving orphans, nursing injured animals and giving handouts to the poor - as tears for the wretched, huddled masses ran down her face.

Nope, i read the OP and thats not what she said at all..... how you read that into it is beyond me unless you work for a Tory supporting 'paper?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Here are the last two lines of IC’s post. These are not out of context:

So I am not sure what the aide's point is?
^^
This is getting desperate.

The aide is not getting desperate, but you certainly are @WhatsTheUseOfWorrying 😭

@WhatsTheUseOfWorrying how is someone not being home evidence that they live in the home they are not in when someone arrives? That's the bit that's confusing me.

You’ll have to do better than that.

@WhatsTheUseOfWorrying you have started to really remind me of someone, with your twisting of other poster's words...I think I will cease engaging.
